CAFCASS NOW IS THE TIME TO LISTEN
CAFCASS NOW IS THE TIME TO LISTEN
The Family Court Welfare Worker’s Union Napo today said that CAFCASS is in meltdown. CAFCASS is the body charged with public and private law cases concerning children at risk and those who are the subject of family court proceedings after divorce and separation. The news that the organisation is in meltdown does not come as any surprise to those
of us working in the field of family separation, some might say that meltdown might just be the best outcome for this body.
Note: It's nice to see that Alison has been blogging. She has been fighting for families in the UK for a long time and is well worth reading. Check it out.
