Hi
We have had a cafcass officer involved in our case. Extremely unimpressed and easily the most incompetent person involved in our affairs (and that includes the magistrates!)
We had no say as to who it was and as they are totally swamped you are lucky, or unlucky in our case, to get one at all.
Our cafcass report was basically everything my ex had told him. He didn’t listen to me, the children or their schools.
I should have known there would be a problem when he introduced himself by saying “children should live with their mammy”. Something he repeatedly uttered during my ‘interview’.
On a later occasion he contacted my solicitor to ask her if she was still representing my ex!
These people have a huge influence on what happens to our children so go softly but from what I can tell they employee from the bottom of the barrel.
