    Or put these meetings 'on the record' by recording them on your phone, or using a dictaphone or digital voice recorder?

    Another option to formalise a social worker's visit is to take notes and immediately after the meeting write to them saying
    "We discussed blah blah and we agreed that blah blah and you said you would blah blah by blah blah. Please write to me by return if this is incorrect and I have misunderstood anything, and explain to me what I have misunderstood"

    I am totally having my eyes opened by this, I had no idea the powers-that-be were so completely and utterly unsupportive, manipulative and either poorly trained or liars. IMO start taking notes at meetings or ask for a secretary to take full minutes, and for every question to be responded to in writing, see if they will be quite so manipulative and unsupportive then. :mad:
