advice around social services (childrens services) in aus
Hi all
I was just wondering what the process was for people who migrate to Australia from England who have childrens services (social workers) involved with their family. Do they automatically pick up from where the UK workers left off or do they not become involved unless a referal is put through whilst in Aus.
Basic background is my OH is on the sex offender register in the UK and at the moment he is only allowed supervised contact with the kids. If we were granted a visa, i am assuming he will automatically become registered on the ANCOR? and will finish his time on the ANCOR...but will social services also become involved straight away or not...
I know its a long shot that anyone might know anything about this, but any info would be greatly helpful.
The whole point of us looking to move to Aus is for a brand new start where we can get on with our lives as a family, but if social services will place the same restrictions on his as he has over here, there its a pointless exercise when you are trying to start a fresh
Thanks again

If you, your partner and the kids are applying for visas, then as you've already discussed in earlier posts, there will be background checks etc. The fact that your partner has been charged with an offence may or may not be surmountable, but in all honesty I can't imagine that you'd be granted a family visa, to travel and live together in Australia, while there are restrictions in the UK on your partner's access to the kids.
You really do need to talk about this with someone who can give you clear answers, you can't make any plans until this is sorted out one way or another. Sorry if I sound all doom and gloom, take care.

You may also need to consider if there are any restrictions on your husband travelling whilst on the register. Maybe plan for a move in a few years when this is further behind you and your husband is not subject to any restrictions.

Stacey - the more I think about this, the more concerned I am that you're heading for disappointment. I don't know a lot about the immigration process but I am involved, in a peripheral way, in child protection through my work.
