Rejected petition Reform into how Cafcass are used in family courts

I would like government/parliament to discuss making reform and changes in family law and also the use of Cafcass in children’s cases.

More details

Over the last few years there has been many high profile court cases regarding the failings of Cafcass and also many high court cases regarding Cafcass. Yet they are still relied upon in family courts. The government needs to make reform, so families can not be subjected to anymore failings by the use of Cafcass in family and children’s cases.
