Cafcass did a police check for the initial safeguarding letter. Is it normal practice to go into detail of particular offences . Or should it just be a printout. I committed a sec 20 offence , categorised as a C2 for sentencing which was self defence ( classed as excessive due to injury victim sustained on falling ) cafcass have made it look like an unprovoked sustained attack and haven't written the circumstances. Where would they have got this information from? . Do i address it with the judge . There is also a number of nfa from false allegations The other party police check has come back with 1 offence . I know they other party has a lot of nfa as has been arrested numerous times and the last police check I was shown in 2020 there were 9 in total . Cafcass have deliberately not written these down . The whole report seems biased . Should I address this ? Any advice please
Hi,
From experience, Cafcass are sometimes selective. They may decide to highlight convictions, NFAs they think may pose safeguarding risk to children.
If theres factual errors in the letter, you can request cafcass officer to correct it. Anything else you can challenge in court.
