[Solved] On to the 5th cafcass officer

Slim I am not sure if you have a time limited for them to complete the report ?

at my hearng cafcass were given 8 weeks to complete their report not sure if it will be classed at S7

Cafcass have been told to file their report two weeks before my next hearing obviously if they can not do this it might delay the case

I am wondering if this might be what could happen to you and therefore you need to complain and express that due to their staffing issues it could potentially delay the case which leaves your daughters without seeing their dad for longer which you feel is not in their best interest

it's not right that you now have a 5th worker , their needs to be some consistency but I do hope the new worker is better than the one before ...

Keep calm , keep polite but be firm, you need this resolved and things progressing

They all have been arrogant uninterested, lazy and unprofessional the latest one has just come out of training and this is her first case she's not back from her holidays for another week, it's all a complete joke, each one has said they can't see me getting contact because of one girls disability and because u haven't seen my baby for so long she's better off not seeing me at all as it will be too upsetting for her, they've also said nothing will work out as the mum will never agree to anything, they're not even doing an observation and the court have said the s7 needs to be done by 23 July

Write to the court Slim and request they order an observational visit be a part of the S7 report. Argue it from your daughters perspective, cite the fact that the officers have admitted verbally that they are likely to recommend no contact because of the mothers hostility but that it isn't in your daughters best interests not to have her father involved in her life...she has a right to a family life. Tell thence how closely bonded you both were after she was born and that you both have the right to demonstrate that by being observed together. A recommendation of no contact will have such an impact on her whole life, which makes an observational visit essential to determine what is best for her and her sister, anything less would not be in the girls best interests.

Have you spoken to the CAFCASS manager to discuss the unfairness of the officers coming to decisions about their recommendations before having all of the facts and basing them purely on the mothers wishes and feelings, making any report one sided.

Thanks NJ I intend to do just that i'm just trying to get my fighting head back on I've just got so down over the past week or so everything just seems pointless and I am unbelievably depressed as absolutely nothing has gone my way since all this started.

I wish I could snap out of it, I'm trying my best but nothing is cheering me up 🙁

I know how you feel, I've felt like giving up several times!!!

Just try & stay positive & remember the truth will come out & the Ex won't always have her way

Hi Mate

Cafcass are for the most part an absolute shower... and couldn't even spell professionalism or impartiality. But, maybe that's just my experience

Keep you're head up and good luck.
