sorry if in the wrong section i couldn't find where to post.

does anyone have any background dealing with social services after a conviction?
able to share your conviction and what restrictions you where given just so i have an idea what  maybe getting into later in time?

i read the smith case link and going from that i should only get restrictions on my devices been able to be looked at or software installed, but I've also read people with non contact conviction have restrictions put on them with a SOPO/SHPO which looking into i will most likely get.

a lot of things i have also read is that the social tend to go off what the courts decide, unless they dont give you any contact restrictions hen the social seem to, then you have to fight for the contact to your own child.

thank you in advance for any information or knowledge.

so a little update as I've been away from here for a while.

my bail came to an end as the police had to apply to the courts and they refused to extend any bail, i ask my ex/wife to contact SS as she was the one who they contacted originally, i feel this was a mistake and should really listen to what is been said to me, when the police office called he said its good news as we would not take any action for you seeing/having your son, i asked if he was going to let SS know or if i should and he said he is not going to inform them and that they would not arrest me for having my son with me unsupervised.
now the SS want me to carry on as tho my bail conditions are still ongoing and have again, closed the case with no further action.
she did ask me o call them once the police are done with their investigation no mater the outcome (depending on the outcome i will be seeking further legal advise)the whole process this time with SS felt like they couldn't really be bothered and just set limitations (well what they advised) because if something where to happen they can say, well we said this bla bla bla.
a couple of things i had to get straight with them, as she never had contact from the police so assumed i couldn't be unsupervised with under 18 when it was 16, saying my ex/wife wanted me to have more contact with our son but kind of twisted it into a way that it was a concern, this was more a feeling on the way things was said rather than what was said.
i had a conference call with SS, ex/wife, school and healthcare women thing, was told if ok she would call me the next day, 4 weeks later she called me and was unhappy i couldn't answer due to working (we did have a time she would call 4 weeks ago due to work)  as she was closing the case.

anyway just a bit of what happened with SS wth myself.

In my early years of being released from prison I had a lot of dealings with SS. Some of my thoughts on this.

If SS have closed the case with no further action then any request they have such as continuing to follow bail conditions when you are no longer on bail is advice only, they can not legally enforce this and if you and your ex wife agree to ignore this and allow contact then that is something you can both decide on. However if they find out that contact is made they can take further action and put in more legally binding plans and even court action if they feel your child is at risk.

What SS do is twist everything that they are told, they do almost anything to stop contact once you have been accused and committed of certain sexual offences. This is what they did with me and stopped almost all contact with my 2 children even though my partner, her family, my PPU and my family where all happy for contact to be allowed. The grounds for denying it were so flimsy and tied up in a non legally binding safety plan, rather than break that plan we put in official complaints with SS and it took almost 9 months but they eventually allowed access. It was telling in the last complaint hearing I had the manager in charge of the case refused to attend the mediation hearing and they had to draft another manager in who after 15 minutes of discussion reversed a lot of the silly decisions made in the safety plan.
