Dear miss I

My name is Suzie and I am an Adviser at Family Rights Group.

You have had a really difficult time over a long period but it is very that you have done so well to come out so well on the other side. You should feel very proud of yourself.

Although your boys are unlikely to return to your care now, at least they will remain in the family so you will be able to see them and maintain a relationship with them.

Regarding your question about safeguard, it is not clear in what context you mean. Children Services take action in order to safeguard children who are at risk of harm. There is also safeguarding for adults and if you have been diagnosed with a mental health condition this would apply to you. You can ask your doctor or health professional what is available to you under the Adult Safeguarding Protocol.

You may be able to obtain further information from Mind on 0300 123 3393 (info) or Rethink on 0300 5000 927.

I hope you find this information helpful but if you wish to speak to an adviser about your children and Children Services involvement, you can telephone our free advice line on 0808 801 0366. The advice line is open Monday to Friday from 9.30 a.m. to 3.00 p.m.

Best wishes

Dear Miss

You have to fight for them,keep every thing recorded notes and plans and meetings any thing even cards what Social Services said.
Will have good days and bad ones but you focus has to be for them and every opportunity you have tell them how much you miss them and how much you love them.
They need to know you doing every thing you can to get them back.

Good luck I hope all is well
