Family justice is changing, and Cafcass is at the heart of that change.

With the national rollout of Child Focused Courts , we are leading a transformation in how children’s voices are heard and how decisions are made in family proceedings.

Child Focused Courts place children’s safety, wellbeing and lived experience at the centre of decision‑making from the very start of proceedings. This problem‑solving, less adversarial approach allows decisions to be informed earlier by a clear understanding of children’s experiences, including through the preparation of Child Impact Reports.
