Please note - there is an updated version of the operating framework, I've provided a link to it at the bottom of the page. Thanks π
Ok your all going to think i',m sad, just spent Christmas reading and studying this, all 87 pages, The Cafcass Operating Framework I remembered every service has one of these. Anything and everything you want to know about how CAFCASS work and more importantly how they should work is in this document, its there bible, apologies if its been raised in the past but here is the link below, I think its so important that if moderators are reading this should go in as a sticky if that's what you call it now need to sleep my brain is frazzled.
UPDATED VERSION 2019 -
I don't think I can read it it will tip me over the edge lol
Ha ha probably will, it has links to dozens of more pages :woohoo:
Yep - made it a sticky. Thanks Greyling π
Greyling - hope you're doing okay, this is great, thanks for sharing!
Slim - step away from the link, we don't want you rocking in a corner unless you're on the decks π
I started reading it got past the first paragraph then I could feel a panic attack coming on so I stopped lol
Nice one G!
sorry to say it but the principles that they are independent no longer apply.
CAFCASS work for the court. they are there to justify the decisions that the courts will deliver regardless of the evidence or facts available.
the more you read the more you find errors that have been done but no way of having them addressed before its turned on you being difficult.
Ive updated the original posters link to the CAFCASS Operating Framework... we need to start holding them to account on best practice. There are some fairly significant changes, so worth a read through.
Happy reading folks! π
