Social Services say i need to quit job

Four hours a week seems very do-able as you mentioned you do have family support so your partner could have someone with her whilst you are working.

yes - I think four hours a week is do-able. the grandparents would probably jump at the chance to 'childmind' - I know I do!

it seems SS have climbed down a bit - and hopefully the new SW will be helpful and supportive!
good luck and do have a good Christmas!

The rules changed in April this year, and fathers are now entitled to shared parental leave. My understanding is that you should be entitled to 50 weeks in the first year of your child's life. Go onto the Benefits Forum - there will be people there who can verify this - or confirm that you are correct. It is worth exploring - not all employers seem to understand that it is not just 2 weeks parental leave any more.

The mother must have been entitled to maternity leave for the father to be entitled to shared parental leave.

OK had a Case conference today & our daughter had been placed on a child protection plan (to be reviewed in 6 months), the issues surrounding work are still not clear, gonna have a chat with SW tomorrow, but my employer is saying I have to work at least 4 hours a week as my contract states that I must or be in breach of my contract, SW seems to be trying to push for me to stay in work at least part-time, but will have a new SW in January 2016, as current one is only duty SW (although she wanted to take the case on, but was not allowed to as she is duty SW only)

All professionals have spoke of us in a good light, but historic events & my partners Learning difficulties have dictated that we need a CPP

If this was an Initial Child Protection Conference then Review must be within 13 weeks, so not 6 months. Duty SW are used to passing on cases at this point so I would be surprised if one asked to keep the case.
Are you in PLO - pre proceedings process?
Have you had a parenting assessment? or is this the purpose of the residential placement?
Just to be clear........
Sw's do not get commission for removing children of any age from their family's...
