‘To see a six-year-old suffering from anxiety – it’s not right’

STEPHANIE supervises contact between her ex-partner and six-year-old daughter.

Her ex-partner was abusive in their relationship. He previously had unsupervised contact with his daughter, but the conclusion of a Section 20 psychological report was that this was having a detrimental effect on the child. The court ordered termination of contact between her ex-partner and their daughter until he receives therapy.

Stephanie explained the effect of unsupervised contact on her daughter and why the court terminated it.
