Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (CAFCASS)

For every child whose current and future living arrangements are decided by the family courts, we seek to provide an exceptional experience, everywhere and every time. We prioritise their safety and welfare, their voices, and their unique needs, taking full account of their families and those connected to them.

We represent the interests of children and young people in the family court. We independently advise the family courts about what is safe for children and in their best interests. We focus on their needs, wishes, and feelings, making sure that children's voices are heard and are at the heart of the family court's thinking and decision-making. For every child whose current and future living arrangements are decided by the courts, we seek to provide an exceptional experience, everywhere and every time.
