Cafcass and Coram in South East Partnership for Children
Cafcass, the organisation that
looks after children’s interests in the family courts, and
children’s charity, Coram, are pleased to announce an innovative
partnership between a government agency and a voluntary
organisation. 
The partnership will operate in South East
England and is designed to promote better outcomes for children
whose parents are divorcing or separating and cannot agree on
contact or which parent a child should live with. Coram will be
supporting Cafcass practitioners in a number of ways. The
charity will provide specialist additional consultation in child
and adolescent psychiatry and adult psychology.
Cafcass Chief Executive Anthony Douglas said: “We
are constantly striving to improve the quality of
outcomes for children and young people. By working in
partnership with Coram we will be harnessing their excellent
reputation in the arena of contact – especially in achieving
successful sessions with families where there is entrenched
discord.”
