[QUOTE="JanieMc, post: 340196, member: 52138"] Hi Maz, I've since spoken to my friend who is an ed social worker. Her advice is as follows: because of high profile cases like Baby P and Victoria Clombie ( there should be an accent on that e) the authorities have to cover their backs. They must tick every box going to show that they have done their utmost for the child. Therefore, do not fight them, ask them to work with you. Get THEM to find you the DAFNE training. Ask THEM to help you or either of your daughters with respite etc. it puts YOU in the driving seat and makes you the responsible parent that they can then work with (I'm not at all suggesting that you weren't before, I'm just trying to find a path for you here) expect them to maybe be a bit pants.. Not everyone does their job effectively. Still research how you can become DAFNE aware. It would be a slap in the eye for them if you could show better knowledge and the strong desire for this for your daughter. My friend says "they will not go away" their own jobs are on the line if they are negligent so work with them not resisting but you still have the power to be one step ahead of them. The best of luck lovely x [/QUOTE]
