Ofsted inspection of CafCass

The link is to Ofsted's analysis of cafcass which includes statements such as:

In another case an 11-month-old child was said to be too young to appreciate “the political significance of his circumstances”. Far too many reports were based on opinion, not evidence, and many were full of errors. Analysis of facts was poor, with advisers too often jumping to conclusions. In many cases inspectors had no idea how Cafcass advisers reached their recommendations.

It is interesting how CSCI never picked up on any of this.

Cafcass Guardian Ad Litem Under Rule 9.5 has chosen to ignore all feelings of our 6 and 3 year olds and has in a span of 3 months without assessment said I have a psychological dysfunction and a personality disorder. When I complained she victimised me. Then when she was not available and my barrister saying I should not expect much input from Cafcass, I asked other agencies to support us and she intervened and told them so much of the case that it scared them off. She is now off to read social services' records to ascertain what I might have conveyed to them as she is bent on removing the residency of the children from my care to father's without any justification.

Yet she is untouchable with my solicitor and barrister saying "she is a difficult woman", "Try and get her on your side", etc. This nightmare is worse than the alleged abusive relation I fled from.

Judges do not like Cafcass practitioners challenged and rely heavily on their so called expertise. In my experience two practitioners from one office - teh latest GAL having no case management plan, no planned interventions, no transparency in her decison making, very cagey and manipulative. The case examples she shared with me are worrying with views like "children adopted by gay couples don't have as much of a life chance as those who have a relationship with their biological parents", etc.

Very worrying indeed!

Trudiagnostic change PACE leaderboard algorithm - was in position 40, now position 44 - does it matter?

Trudiagnostic have changed the way they handle the Rejuvenation Olympics Leaderboard algorithm. The result of this initially was that I was globally no 40 and have now dropped to 44. Trudiagnostic are a US company that get samples of blood and they look at the DNA to see which parts of the DNA have methyl groups (CH3) attached to them. These modifications to DNA are called methylation markers. DunedinPACE is an algorithm which uses DNA methylation markers in white blood cells to work out how quickly or slowly someone is aging. I had three results on this. The odd thing about the results was that whilst my epigenetic age calculated from the same methylation markers was going down, the speed at which I was aging was going up. I find this somewhat counterintuitive. It is, however, I think relevant that in a global contest my approach on biochemistry which is quite different to many other people's does seem to keep up with others working in the same area. To that extent it...
