Does anyone know please how realistic it is for me to set up a meeting with my local cafcass branch manager and discuss issues i have?
Thanks.
Someone, I'm sure (NJ, was it you?) mentioned not too long ago about the grievance procedure with cafcass - I'd certainly ring them and see what they say.
Hi there 🙂
Yes actd is was me! 😉
Heres a link to the CAFCASS website www.cafcass.gov.uk/contact_us/feedback_and_complaints.aspx ...You will see that they advise getting in touch with the Manager in the first instance, but there is a complaints procedure and information on how to do that in the link I have provided, if you require it.
Also theres a gentleman called Brian Hitchcock, he is the Director of Legal Services for Mens Aid which is a group that helps men that have been victims of domestic Abuse, but they also help with false allegations too. This guy is also an External shareholder for CAFCASS and he states on his website that if anyone has any concerns about the way CAFCASS is handling their case to get in touch either by phone or email.
