Hi all.
I've been attending a supported contact centre up until recently. The ex is now stating she no longer wants to attend the centre we have been using.
The ex is claiming that I am rough with the children whilst they are in my care. The centre have confirmed to CAFCASS that they have witnessed no such thing with me, but it is supported rather than supervised contact (so no report). A big thing is made about them having a policy of not writing reports, and I'm always being told they are "impartial". The children have reported to CAFCASS that I have been rough with them too during the visits, which I deny and wonder where this is originating from.
The two options I am considering are a supervised contact centre with an accompanying report, or using an independent social worker for the same purpose? The idea being that I can get some more solid evidence to prove I'm not rough, as she claims. Would people recommend either of these, and what are the risks?
