[Music]
00:07
so Steven tell me about him everything
00:11
up to date yes he's CP visits every 10
00:14
working days it's a bit odd I'm not
00:17
really sure what to do mum's engaging
00:19
really well school attendance is a
00:22
little better but still not great what
00:25
school is it said Joseph's there's a
00:28
contract of expectations around his dad
00:30
dad recently assaulted his new partner
00:33
and he has a history of assaulting his
00:35
own mother as well
00:36
Stevens never seen the violence and he
00:39
tested positive for drugs but denies it
00:41
what's the contact then he goes to visit
00:44
his nan and sees his dad sometimes then
00:46
he doesn't go to his dad's house dad
00:49
comes to pick him up takes him out then
00:51
brings him back home again on his own
00:53
yeah what's in the contracts of
00:55
expectations not to be under the
00:58
influence no violence no contact with
01:01
new partner so the risks are substance
01:04
misuse and domestic violence in the past
01:06
with Stephens mum yes but a long time
01:09
ago there's DV with new partner can
01:13
unsupervised I'm a bit worried no
01:16
concerns have been raised Stephan hasn't
01:18
said anything and he knows about the
01:20
contract of expectations what Steven
01:22
wouldn't say anything would he who would
01:24
raise concerns mum and the police well
01:29
if he's tested positive for substances I
01:31
doubt this appears well he's not under
01:33
the influence why would that change the
01:36
Steven was there yes well if that's true
01:39
and dad's taken Steven out bowling well
01:41
he's high or on a comedown there's a
01:44
risk but Stevens quite open and he
01:47
hasn't said anything it's difficult
01:49
because I don't want to say no contact
01:51
so what are the options
01:54
you know them do you think contact is
01:57
safe I don't feel I know enough about it
02:00
I want to make sure that I know it's
02:02
safe the drug Service says dad's doing
02:05
really well he's engaging he's out of
02:08
prison all right that's great but they
02:11
have different expectations from a risk
02:12
assessment point of view I think what we
02:16
have here is a young child who's having
02:18
contact with a violent person who uses
02:20
substances he hits his partner in public
02:23
so I think he's a risk if there's any
02:25
contact it needs to be supervised I
02:29
don't think we should expect Steven to
02:31
say anything because he loves his dad
02:33
and he wants to spend time with him
02:35
I'm a man and can safeguard start with
02:38
supervised for an assessment period do
02:42
man on speak yeah and I have told mum
02:45
that he uses and men was all right with
02:47
that with Steven going she says
02:50
Steven talks about the activities they
02:52
do together hmm it can't be a positive
02:54
then I have to say mums communication
02:57
and engagement is much better the home
03:00
conditions are fine I said to her if
03:03
things didn't improve
03:04
we'd have to escalate to PLO again I
03:06
didn't want to but she's absolutely
03:08
cleared up the house and maintained it
03:11
so no concerns with men then no school
03:15
attendance still isn't great it's 82
03:17
percent but the ewo says that's the
03:20
school's problem but mum doesn't attend
03:23
to core groups why I'm not sure she said
03:27
transport was an issue but when I went
03:30
to pick her up she didn't answer the
03:31
door
03:31
how many is she not attended she hasn't
03:35
attended at all in the last six months I
03:37
think she used to attend before that so
03:40
she's had support from services but not
03:43
got the insight
03:44
[Music]
03:47
sorry Sophia to answer this hello yeah
03:56
okay yeah well I can't discuss that in
04:00
detail now I'm just in supervision I
04:03
won't do much longer bye
04:09
sorry about that Sophia carry on what
04:12
are the risks she said she wouldn't know
04:16
what to do if dad's turned up I think
04:19
she struggles it's external motivation
04:22
to avoid it from going to PLO again I
04:24
think she's scared of Steven being
04:27
removed rather than thinking about
04:28
protecting Steven we've become a bit
04:31
complacent he has been on the register
04:34
for two years so she's been through PLO
04:37
one out the other side do you feel he's
04:40
at risk of significant harm not with dad
04:43
out of the picture it's not to say we
04:46
don't need to do any work with mum I
04:48
think she'll continue to engage with me
04:50
she calls me she's never done that
04:51
before
04:52
she's always there she calls me when
04:54
Stevens gone out without dad there is no
04:58
risk is there any support now I've
05:01
referred to housing I've given Steven a
05:04
best pass told him I want to see his
05:05
school attendance improve I'm not doing
05:08
anything with mum why isn't she coming
05:10
to call group what's the issue transport
05:14
it's a fair walk or it's two buses does
05:18
she work no has she got any other kids
05:20
no so she could do it yes she could do
05:23
it I feel like the transports an excuse
05:26
it's not okay to not turn up to six core
05:30
groups she's used to it it's been two
05:33
years I think I need to revisit the plan
05:36
I put a new plan in at the last
05:38
conference but she's not adhering to it
05:41
so what are you gonna do
05:43
why is his attendance bad why is she not
05:46
worried about the father and there's no
05:49
support I'll double-check the plan okay
05:51
so actions review conference 30th of
05:55
what will be the outcome continued
05:58
registration I think we need to be going
06:01
to legal because we need to be seen
06:03
change if he's been on the register for
06:05
two years and manat what other actions
06:07
do you think there's nothing health-wise
06:09
mum's taken him to dentist appointments
06:12
and she's engaged with the school nurse
06:14
maybe it's about having a conversation
06:16
with mom about dads risk and seeing what
06:19
she says when was the last assessment
06:22
I'm sure I did one yeah I thought you
06:25
had but the last one was 18 months ago
06:29
okay I'll do a new assessment and talk
06:32
to dad about supervised contact and the
06:35
contract of expectations okay anything
06:38
else no who's next
