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

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.
