Cafcass South East - report by Ofsted

Ofsted see this report as being better than The East Midlands one. However, the following is in the report:

Overall, Ofsted judges safeguarding in the region as inadequate

The key is the following:

Inspectors found no consistent use of an assessment
framework in their analysis of case files and court reports,
or in discussion with Family Court Advisers. Recent
inspections of Cafcass have reported similar findings
from around the country.20 Inspectors found that Family
Court Adviser’s practice is not supported systematically by
knowledge which is based on research and best outcomes.
Instead, service delivery is determined by the individual
experience of Family Court Advisers or that of their
immediate colleagues.


I did write to Cafcass after the last report. However, there is no sign that they are going to move towards a research and evidenced based approach.

Its the long genes that stop working

People who read my blog will be aware that I have for some time argued that most (if not all) diseases of aging are caused by cells not being able to produce enough of the right proteins. What happens is that certain genes stop functioning because of a metabolic imbalance. I was, however, mystified as to why it was always particular genes that stopped working. Recently, however, there have been three papers produced: Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance Age- or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a generalized shutdown of long gene transcription and Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome From these it is obvious to see that the genes that stop working are the longer ones. To me it is therefore obvious that if there is a shortage of nuclear Acetyl-CoA then it would mean that the probability of longer Genes being transcribed would be reduced to a greater extent than shorter ones.
