		<description>Donna, I have been a social worker for the past 9 years. My advice is firstly that you request to see all information held on your files and for the social worker allocated to your case to go through it with you. Then you will know what you are up against. Secondly, even if you have to borrow money, you need to attend contacts because it shows that you are committed to seeing your children. If possible, see if new contacts can be arranged and make sure when you are with your children, that you are displaying positive behaviour. this will go in your favour. You should be entitled to a parenting assessment unless the social worker can prove that there is a good reason why you shouldn&#039;t have one. Finally, you could ask for an assessment to prove that your children have been damged by the violence that they saw their dad do to you and also that, even if he is not violent towards them, there is psychological damage. In the short term, you should try to access voluntary orgs such as women&#039;s Groups, parents orgs etc..to get advice, support from others in a similar situation and to build up your strength. Parentline Plus is an org that helps parents with various issues, as is Surestart.</description>

		<description>i have not seen my two youngest children for over two years and am not likely to.
i have been in family proceedings all of that time.
i have been lied about and the social workers knew that they have commited perjury.
i have not been given the right to have a parenting assesment.
my contact and access has firstly been hard due to lack of money and no help from social services
secondly they lied to the courts in order to refuse my contact. 
they have encouraged the courts to give a residents order to the man who has been criminally convicted of violence against me. 
can any body help me and my children</description>
