My experience was social services contacted me, arranged a visit, discussed all the support and options, met my eldest alone upstairs and looked around the house. I was given the choice of whether to use them or not, I chose not to but they did explain that could be overridden if they felt kids were at risk. Was told I could contact them if changed my mind. It was all very supportive but it’s one of those departments you fear the worse with isn’t it.

Thanks bananaboat that’s helpful, I guessed that it would work like this, this is our (detail removed by moderator) time being flagged they weren’t interested before and only had a phone call so will have to wait and see how it all goes.
Just worrying when you hear peoples bad experiences but you do hear good too.

I understand the worry and peoples experiences are different but Honestly – it was the best thing that happened to us they saved my life and helped me safeguard my children. That said I worked hard and worked with them. I hope you have good support from them and feel ready to engage. Keep posting you are not alone xx

Was unclear if first report to ss had been done. My WA support worker decided to make one herself this way she’s is involved and can help liaise l. Making sure the situation is fully understood.
It’s scary but hopefully going in a direction that makes things right for my kids and I
Still scared and incredibly guilty regardless
Still numb and not really excepting what we’ve been through, wonder if I ever will. Looking forward to being able to be reee and start to heal

Only able to help if physical abuse leaves a mark.
Can only assess if my husband is told why it’s necessary and where referrals come from.
They will contact school to let them know there’s tension at home and to request a person that children can confide in
Back to local WA support worker.
Looking into occupational order
