Where you are matters. You say "flat." Are you in the UK?
If you are in the US is there a Court order regarding custody?

So you went back to social services and told them you fulfilled their requirements and then what happened?

No there isn't a custody order and I went back to social services and they never sorted it

So you go back to your case worker and push her. Tell them, they required you get suitable housing and you did, so what's the hold up?

I have just phoned my support worker and told her I am not happy with the situation of my children.
There dad never has them he dumps them on his mom and goes out drinking all the time and his mom shares the same bed as my 6 year old daughter at his 2 bedroom flat and his brother sleeps on the settee.
I have done everything right why should I be the one that is getting punished.
His mom had a nervous breakdown a few years ago and tried killing herself in front of my daughter and they said she is safe to be with her and her uncle flips out and beats people up.
Any advice would be appreciated

It's the same advice - go to Court and try to get custody. The support worker can do little to help you.
Prove he's unfit.
