Cafcass has a troubling reputation for negatively impacting families. They make critical decisions regarding child welfare without conducting thorough investigations, often relying on misleading or fabricated information. This can lead to unjust outcomes based on their so-called professional judgment, which can be misused in a way that erodes trust and results in significant harm to families and children. Many believe that they should be held accountable for defamation, obstructing justice, harassment, victimization, and violations of human rights.
