CAFCASS REFORMING ITSELF FOR BETTER?

EVERY DAY MATTERS - CAFCASS new approach?

Anthony Douglas, Chief Executive of CAFCASS, has outlined new directions for the organization. The major objectives are:

*to guarantee an intensive early intervention service;
*to extend dispute resolution work;
*to minimize reporting and maximise direct work with children and families.

The new plan highlights the need to triage every case, with an emphasis on shared parenting in cases where safety isn't an issue.

On the face of it, Douglas appears to be going substantially in the direction that EPC has been pushing for.
