Hiya. Does anyone have any experience with social worker and being homeless.
the house I’m renting is going through a sale and because I can’t find a new home the landlord is now going to apply for court in January. I’ve been advised by council to stay put.
my 13 year old daughter has a social worker. Due to her behaviour etc. she got permanently excluded from mainstream school last July, and she started a behaviour school in the September. Which she rarely attends. She does what she wants. She smashes up her room, she says vile things to me and her little brother who is 6. She sneaks out the house during the night to meet up with her mates. If she doesn’t get her own way she flips. The police have been called numerous times because of her behaviour etc. she’s got worse since starting this behaviour school.
I have a lot of stress right now every day uk on egg shells around her and I’m so worried about being put in temp accommodation with my 2 children. As the most the time it’s a shared room and I don’t know how she will cope and how it will affect her and my son if we are all in the same room 24/7! 😩
can anyone offer advice please?
Hello Clare. This sounds like a stressful situation. What's going on for your daughter must be causing you a lot of worry and I hope her Social Worker is able to help a least a bit with that. I agree that if you were put into one room emergency accomodation, this would be an added pressure. I'm sure you are doing all you can to find a private let to avoid that. If it comes down to emergency accommodation, it's not inevitable it would be one room. You could ask all involved (Social Worker, schools, GP etc) to write a supporting letter to Housing to ask that your daughter needs her own room. Then perhaps you could share with your son. Good luck and I hope things turn a corner for your daughter.
