I was musing this week on a comment made by the Service Manager of Kent Cafcass at the Kent Family Justice Council last week. We were told (fanfare of trumpets) that Kent Cafcass no longer had a backlog of cases and that in all cases where the Court had Directed that an officer of Cafcass should be appointed/prepare a report, an officer had been allocated.
Closer questioning revealed that this means purely that a name has been pinned to the case but not that the officer has any prospect of starting work on it or even meeting the parties and the children in the foreseeable future.
Political spindoctors seem amateurs compared to some of the "information" emanating from Cafcass.
The saddest aspect is that it is children who suffer most from the delays in the Court process as their lives and the animosity between their parents is not put on hold whilst Cafcass do nothing.
