Cafcass Avaliações 

Corrupt to its core. Ignore safeguarding, complaints, send corrupt usbs when you ask for evidence, emails are purposely difficult to see and receive, can’t speak to anyone about anything. Lie, cover up and silence truth tellers, the worst of the worst social workers who couldn’t quite cut it get slung on this pile of excrement and justice is never done. They think they are untouchable and they are correct !! Abusers get kids, courts think they are gods. Never ever seen such evil hateful people in my life and that’s saying something. Someone really needs to whistle blow this nest of vipers!

If you're a female just cry and make up lies youll be able to boot the dad out of their childs life before they've even met them. No evidence no criminal history needed just lie and accuse your ex of everything and anything youll make them lose access for years while being absolutely destroyed mentally. Absolutely no chance these people should be anywhere near any children on earth pure monsters

I want to warn other parents and also call on the government to look seriously at how Cafcass operates.

In my case, I raised safeguarding concerns — emotional abuse, children being dragged into adult issues, risks in the household, adoption — but none of this was properly included in the report. Instead, Cafcass repeated every allegation the mother made against me, even the smallest things, while ignoring or watering down the serious concerns I raised.

Parents deserve a fair and balanced report when the court is deciding children’s futures. What I experienced was one-sided, selective, and left me feeling unheard. This is not protecting children, this is picking sides.

To other parents: keep everything in writing, because Cafcass may not record your words fairly.
To the government: Cafcass needs urgent reform. Families are being damaged when officers are allowed to present unbalanced reports that leave out vital safeguarding information.

Having heard and read about the reviews on cafcass, I think it's a total and utter disgrace that they are still in operation.Soo much negative feedback, that is saying alot on how unfit these people are in solving any case. Ruining families lives up and down our country. Instead of keeping families together, they are tearing them apart, causing heartache, pain and suffering. Leaving children feeling confused,unhappy,insecure,un-loved, separated from their parent/s and other family members,usually their Dads. This agency need to sit down and think of the damage they are causing with their lies and corrupt ways of doing things.They don't seem to have any empathy let alone compassion for anyone. From an outsider looking in, I haven't got children but if I had, I would never, ever go to this organisation to ask for any kind of help or advice. Their services are in shambles and cannot meet the needs of any family and are put in place to destroy and cause misery to thousands, if not millions of families across the UK. If you are not built on trust/truth you are going to crumble at some point. God is going to judge these evil people one day, where they will have to answer to him, the only place for them is in hell where they belong.

If CAFCASS was a private sector company, based on this kind of SHOCKING feedback, UNAMIOUSLY!!! it would of been Wound Up a long time ago. No business would survive on tjis kind of online feedback 1 Star with many stating they'd give 0 if they could. Over 1,200 People on here cannot all be wrong. Something needs to change, peoples lives depend on this service and quite frankly what I heard and now what Ive experience I am 100% disgusted by their report which ignored every bit of evidence I submitted, completley, and even set about to use my evidence as a negative commenting on how many emails I had sent CAFCASS yet not a single item was used. Yet petty text messages were used and examples of silly things from 7 years ago totally irrelevant yet video footage was ignored along with police reports and everything else. Several errors made, basically a copy and paste service from the last father that was given a rough ride. Appalling, 100% biassed report totally 1 sided despite massive effort on my part to ensure both sides were seen and the big picture. I need not have bothered. Feel cheated, let down and disgusted at the total lack of a neutral and balanced report that sees both sides. No one person should be doing this, this should be 2 people minimum because this 1 person could be susceptible to bribes and I actually believe 1 very important part of the report was a lie. This needs to improve, shocking, 0 out of 5 service if I could give it a zero. Bring on a fact finder because this person needs to be held accountable. Do better for god sake our kids deserve better and so do a lot of dads out there who are being let down by a system which appears broken, biassed and potentially open to corruption. Simple fix GOV.UK - DO NOT ALLOW 1 PERSON WORKING FOR CAFCASS ALONE WRITE A REPORT ON THEIR OWN. TOO MUCH RIDES ON THIS FOR CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS AND I CAN ASSURE EVERY READER OF THIS REVIEW THERE ARE MANY FATHERS NOT GETTING A FAIR DEAL - I MET A DOZEN AT A CHARITY EVENT FOR DADS IN THIS POSITION AS I FIND MYSELF IN AND THEY ALL TELL A SIMILAR STORY.

My grandchildren got stolen through lies from a cafcass joke of a woman based in Trafford who never even spoke to me but judged me as a bad parent to my daughter getting sexually abused when she was young...
How she destroyed my family was despicable...she is corrupt, the whole company are human trafficking young children to gain money in their pockets and nothing is done about it ,the world needs to hear about cafcass,why have they not been exposed yet?
They steal children from innocent good families and its happened to us and still happening to others .

The most disgusting and vile organisation I have had the misfortune of dealing with.

I wouldn't even give them one star if I had the choice because I have a court order they are meant to be doing a safeguarding meeting with me on the 8th of August and I have heard nothing I phoned them up today and said what's happening they apparently extended the dates to September the 8th they can't even follow a court order it is a major mess up

CAFCASS and family courts are the most corrupt, biased, unsafe environments I have ever experienced. As a mother having to navigate the most horrific emotions when my children disclosed sexual abuse allegations against their father, CAFCASS and the family courts have used my own childhood abuse, and neurodiversity to not only re victimise me against a man thats gas lit and coerced me and my children for years, but as a narrative that I have encouraged my children to fabricate these allegations, gas lit my children telling them their reality and experiences ARE NOT REAL and making them doubt their reality. This is corrupt and cruel beyond belief. I have been told I cannot speak out about our treatment and strongly advised to basically take this judgement. My daughter and son have both been suicidal, suffer physical complications, my daughter has a permanent scar on her kidney, as well as severe mental health problems because of their experiences. They have completely failed my children, and made me now suicidal and completely hopeless to protect my children in a world and justice system where a sexual deviant and predator and protected like a victim!!! This man stood on the stand and ADMITTED to impregnating x2 underage girls, and having sex with a further underage girls but CAFCASS DIDNT DEEM THIS RELEVANT!!! This organisation is VILE, and does not protect our children. They are not the voices of our children. They are complete corrupt deviants.

I feel like my review will mirror a lot of others. That in itself should tell you everything you need to know.

This organisation is shockingly bad and that is no exaggeration. The fact that so many people are stating similar experiences, gives the claims great credibility in my eyes.

This organisation isn’t fit for purpose. They don’t act in the best interests of the children at all. That is just a buzzword they like to band around and regurgitate to try and justify their nonsense. Instead they help to cause and enable trauma in children’s lives; forever tainting their childhood.

When they speak to children they ask them leading questions and don’t delve into the things they say or question why they say the things they do. They don’t use any degree of common sense either.

They’re quite happy to ignore one parent breaking the law to gain residency (even though they can see and admit that gives them an “unfair advantage” in court proceedings).

The officer I had dealings with was very cold and had a total lack of empathy. She snook around to my address on one occasion, unannounced when I wasn’t home anyway. This was not directed by the court, nor was it necessary. She acted in such a biased way, supporting the resident parent, despite seeing that his behaviours were “intimidating” and “challenging” (both her words). It didn’t matter how problematic he was in the end as she was always going to act in his favour for the sheer fact he was seen as the resident parent.

Family courts do not like movement or change for children so the parent who is seen as the resident parent (the one the children are living with at the time of proceedings, will always hold the balance of power).

They seem to ignore alienation as if it isn’t an important factor and fail to see the manipulation that these problematic parents use on their own children. I find them to be very dismissive of these types of concerns, due partly to their lack of experience of complex cases and lack of training.

The aforementioned CAFCASS Officer, suggested “safeguards” to be implemented within the final court order in the event that contact breaks down. Says it all if safeguards are needed in the first place because the concern is already there that the “resident parent” will cause issues with contact. That resident parent also has a history of aggression and abuse and is on Claire’s Law (not worrying at all it seems). However, these so called “safeguards” were never explored to see if they were possible or realistic.

As a result it is no surprise that the resident parent in this case breached the court order time and time again. This was never looked at, no sanctions were given as family courts do not care and have no desire to “punish parents”. Once a CAFCASS Officer has washed their hands of a case, they don’t care either as they’ve already moved onto the next family.

Probably one of the most shocking and sad facts in all of this is that CAFCASS are thieves. This is because they steal time; time a child has with a loving parent and deny them of a proper relationship with them by choosing the easy option and making woeful recommendations.

I conclude with a “well done CAFCASS, Chalk this one up as another loss, another disaster and another failing. I truly hope you are all found out and exposed for the abuse enablers you all are. I for one, would not be proud to work for such an organisation. Might want to keep that quiet as anyone who has any knowledge or experience of the organisation will surely have a raised eyebrow or awkward expression when told. God forbid your own children find out that you help to destroy families for a living!

Unfortunately Cafcass is not there for children. They follow their agenda, always being biased and ignoring domestic violence. Cafcass officer said that she gave my son chance to write down his own statement but because it didn't fit her report, she told judged that there was a technical issue and the testimony of my son was not saved and now is gone. I was adviced by SS to apply for advocate for my children, yet Cafcass sabotaged me. They go with "contact" no matter what. And then we see in TV how many children died cause of their unprofessionalism and ignorance. Don't trust Cafcass, gather your own evidence, ask children to write the statements. You are the only person in family court who cares about safety and wellbeing of your children.

I have recently obtained all of Cafcass Cymru’s internal notes via a Data Subject Access Request (ATISN 24975), and the reality is shocking. The documents prove beyond doubt that Cafcass Cymru is disorganised, biased, and professionally inadequate.

Key failures in my case:
• Basic errors: My daughter’s name was repeatedly written down incorrectly, and even her school was misidentified in official notes. This is not a small slip — if they cannot record basic facts accurately, how can they be trusted with life-changing recommendations?
• Missing evidence: My written statement from 3 June 2025 was “lost” despite me submitting it properly and referencing it multiple times. Cafcass simply ignored it.
• Exclusion from key meetings: I was not informed (or only told last-minute) about important interviews on 1 July and 7 July 2025, including when my daughter was taken out of school early without my knowledge. As a parent with shared parental responsibility, I was deliberately sidelined.
• Biased reporting: Allegations made by the mother were logged and repeated without question, while my own evidence was downplayed or dismissed. Hearsay was treated as fact, and no effort was made to check accuracy.
• Dragging up irrelevant history: My criminal record from 2012 — over a decade old and with no safeguarding relevance — was repeatedly brought up and used against me. This is nothing more than character assassination.
• One-way process: The entire experience was a one-way street. Cafcass presented themselves as impartial, but every action showed a clear bias towards the mother and against me.

This organisation should be ashamed of itself. It claims to represent children’s best interests, but what I have seen is laziness, shortcuts, and a desperate attempt to find the easy way out instead of doing the work properly. The interview notes they produced are weak, inaccurate, and in places dishonest.

Cafcass Cymru is not fit for purpose. Their work is an embarrassment to the Welsh Government and to the justice system. Parents are expected to trust them, but the evidence shows they cannot be trusted.

I have already escalated my case to the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales and the Children’s Commissioner for Wales, and I will continue to expose this organisation for what it is: disorganised, biased, and damaging to families.

If you are unfortunate enough to deal with Cafcass, document everything, submit everything in writing, and never assume they will act fairly or competently.

I have serious concerns about my experience with Cafcass. While claiming to be following all Cafcass practices, I have it in writing that she breached the current Domestic Abuse Practice Pathway — a policy designed to safeguard survivors and ensure appropriate handling of abuse-related cases.

Despite clear safeguarding concerns and extensive professional engagement on my part, her report was built on assumptions rather than evidence, and showed a startling lack of insight into the dynamics of abuse and the support already in place for my children.

Attempts to raise these issues were dismissed, and no accountability appears to follow — meaning the same mistakes can continue in future cases, with potentially serious consequences for other families.

Parents dealing with complex and traumatic situations deserve better — they deserve professionals who are trauma-informed, policy-compliant, and truly child-focused. Sadly, that was not my experience.

The sooner they tear down and obliterate this disgusting and very ominous agency the more better life will be for all families, they seem to deliberately isolate children and make their lives much more sadder and confusing and have no interest in bettering the lives of anyone. With their obvious one sided narrow outlook on every situation they are also clearly unsuitable for such responsibility. No wonder they hide themselves online. Really hoping real justice comes soon to these vile and wicked pieces of shit.

The worst government agency full of bitter man hating blue haired types its anything but about the kids

Absolutely horrible — biased, unprofessional, and judgemental. They labelled me “controlling” simply for saying, “my marriage could have been saved if we ignored external advice”, and even claimed that was “inappropriate” for court.

Meanwhile, they allowed my ex to speak for ten minutes, making false claims without challenge, and completely ignored my requests to have my say.

They accepted every lie my narcissistic ex put forward and shut me down at every turn.

I’ve now submitted a formal complaint.

Absolute disgrace.. I have never in my life received such a worse service, not once was any of my concerns listened to against my ex partner and the court went with every single lie provided by caffcass who was clearly on the side of my ex partner, men don't have a chance to be heard or listened to in court, and all I want is to have access to my child who has been kept from me. Cafcass should hang there heads in shame.

I worked with the most corrupt, lying, deceitful piece of work! Lied in his report about me! Luckily the judge seen right through him!! Can’t wait to mention him in my new book and the rest of the underworld

New website idea:

Dedicated to those that have suffered through this highly manipulative and unprofessional outfit.

Their an arm of the government but uncontrolled. When you give some people uncontrolled power they abuse it. History always repeats itself.

But on the plus side as they are an arm of the government it is easier to hold them to account publicly. Just as we do on this platform.

Watch this space.

Caffcass sent their unfortunate 'letter' to the family court three days before the first hearing. The blatant contradictions present in the 'letter' make me concerned about the writer's judgement capacity. By the time I have processed the enormities written by her there was no time left for any corrections. The judge has got wrong information. My disabled child has to suffer because Cafcass. Who pays these people to cause so much harm? Also they have no feedback working ( they don't care about parents opinion) so I can only leave a review here.
