My ex-partner is not experienced at dealing with children so I am worried about how they will cope with my child if I am not there. Will someone be able to help?

If you are worried about the parenting skills of the other parent, this is something that you should discuss with the centre. Different centres will have different ways that they might be able to assist with this. These can vary from parenting education classes to offering a little advice now and again. If they can’t help, they will probably know who can. They will be keen to provide any support or advice they can. The safety of your children will always be their first concern.
