Good report Mr Slim,
CAFCASS has a reputation for discriminating strongly (against fathers), being arrogant and difficult to deal with, sadly that reputation fits the organisation very well indeed.
Best wishes,
A
There's a place reserved in [censored] for every single person in that organisation they are supposed to be there for the welfare of children and whilst they discriminating against the Father they overlook the child abuse and neglect suffered by the child from the Mother, The Mother can come out with alsorts of false allegations to cover up her abuse but when the Father informs them of abuse and neglect by the Mother they get called malicious and controlling whilst taking everything the ex says as gospel.
To be fair I've heard about just as many Mums complaining about them too so I don't think it's just the Fathers, plenty of people on here have had good experiences of them but in my experience they all are just a shower of ****
I have a big complaint going through CAFCASS at the moment - as finally had enough of the way I was being treated by the officer in my case. It was about time that I spoke up for me and my son, not only for our sake, but for every other dad that is being mistreated and misrepresented by CAFCASS.
I have seen far too many dads that are vilified and made to look like criminals by these CAFCASS officers, whilst mothers who are clearly liars, who are not child focused, are made to look like angels.
It's time for the bias to stop!
Simon.
Even though Cafcass are no longer involved in my case I would like to make a formal complaint on how I have been treated throughout and make a response to the S2 and S7 as I think the more complaints that go in may help other dads who are going through the same amount as [censored] from them, It's bad enough being stopped from seeing your child then having them numb nuts try and destroy your life is just too much.
I would also like to respond to the S2 and S7 as my ex will defo bring them up in the final contested hearing as that is the only "evidence" she has.
How do I go about making a formal complaint simon? Who do I write to I'd like to write directly to the officer as well as her managers ect
I mailed them directly on customerfeedback@cafcass.gsi.gov.uk
Complaint has been sent straight to a service manager. So that is the level above the cafcass officers line manager.
My complaint was detailed and had 10 pages covering the officers misconduct.....so perhaps thats why it went to a high level straight away.
Boycie advised me if they mess me about I can go to the ombudsman too. So I won't be resting until I get an apology and they put things right!
Excellent I'm going to complain to my ex's health visitor too the report about me she gave to the court saying I was a domestic abuser was unreal and the [censored] never even met me or even spoke to me her report was 10x worse than cafcass's.
I got a phone call from solicitor saying my partner has told him that she would like to cancel the case as long as I also do the same.
I obviously didnt agree because she has false abuse case me.
But If she were to cancel her case, will i automatically win or will i still have to wait till court date to get confirmation?
Hi Slim, if you want to make a complaint go to Care quality Commission, CQC, they are the regulators for social services which CAFCASS are part of, after allot of bad publicity CQC now take things very seriously, give them a ring 03000 616161 they will advice you.
I don't know if it will help but I just wanted to add to the do's and dont's if I may?
My ex was slated in the section 7 for saying he was "fighting" for the kids. The social worker told him in no uncertain terms, it's not a battle, not a fight and not a war.
Obviously when you don't see your children you do fight to see them. Just don't be saying it out loud 🙂
The scum twist every word anyway no matter what you say

You could perhaps get away with "fighting for your kids rights to see you"
The good for nothing pieces of [censored] made out that I was controlling because of the amount of evidence I had submitted and in the actual interview the bint praised me 6 or 7 times saying how much work I had saved her producing all my evidence and enrolling on the parenting course by myself then uses it against me in court.
