Cafcass Annual Report &
Accounts 2007 - 08
Investing in services,
delivering improvements for
children and families
Cafcass, the organisation that looks
after children's interests in the family courts, today publishes
its annual report for 2007-08, which highlights intense work to
deliver improved services for children and families.
Anthony Douglas CBE, Cafcass Chief Executive
explains, “Cafcass is still only in its seventh year and we are
still improving core systems so that we can deliver excellent
services. This has involved investment in IT to provide
better case management and opportunities for flexible working but
it has also involved training our staff in our safeguarding
framework and our new national standards. In this coming year
the near doubling of our training budget is another signal of our
intent.
Our work on ensuring children’s voices are
heard in court and in the policy making arena goes from strength to
strength and this is also reflected in the excellent work being
done by our Young People’s Board."
Baroness Jill Pitkeathley, Chair of Cafcass
adds, “This year has seen significant improvement in our capacity
to deliver frontline services. There have been major enhancements
in our IT capabilities, in management information and our policies
and procedures, and we have produced and implemented new National
Standards. A great deal of important collaborative work in the
wider family justice sector has happened this year, and we have
been at the centre of it.”
