Practical Family Court Support

CAFCASS & Social Services Support

Practical preparation when CAFCASS or Social Services are involved in your Family Court case.

Helping you navigate an unfamiliar process

Dealing with CAFCASS or Social Services can feel especially overwhelming because conversations, assessments and reports may become important within Family Court proceedings. We can help you prepare for meetings and interviews, organise the information you want to communicate, respond calmly to unexpected developments and keep clearer records of important concerns, communications and events.

Support may include

  • Preparing for CAFCASS calls, meetings and interviews
  • Preparing for Social Services meetings and assessments
  • Organising key dates, communications and concerns
  • Helping you prepare clear factual points you want professionals to understand
  • Reviewing reports with you and organising the factual matters you may wish to address
  • Preparing questions for professionals or for your own use at a hearing
  • Organising evidence and documents connected with professional involvement
  • Preparing practically for hearings where CAFCASS or Social Services are involved

Keeping the focus clear

When several professionals are involved, it can be difficult to separate the emotion of the situation from the information that needs to be communicated. Our role is to help you stay organised, focused and better prepared for each stage.
