Cafcass represents children in family court cases, making sure that their voices are heard and that the decisions that are made about them are in their best interests.

Who we are

Cafcass (Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service) is the voice of children in the family courts and helps to ensure that children’s welfare is put first during proceedings.

Established in 2001, we are a non-departmental public body, helping over 145,000 children and young people a year who are going through care or adoption proceedings, or whose parents have separated and are unable to agree about future arrangements for their children.

We are independent of the courts, social services, education and health authorities and all similar agencies.

Our role is to:

• Safeguard and promote the welfare of children;
• Give advice to the family courts;
• Make provision for children to be represented;
• Provide information, advice and support to children and their families.
