Cafcass Annual Report and Accounts 2008-09 published

The Cafcass Annual Report and Accounts 2008-09 has been published today.

The Report focuses on the progress we have made in the last year in improving our services.

Anthony Douglas, Chief Executive said, “This year we have achieved many of the objectives that were set and agreed with the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) at the beginning of 2008-09. We have successfully implemented our new structure, which has resulted in smaller and more manageable local teams, and has allowed us to provide more intensive supervision and support to our frontline practitioners, in conjunction with the introduction of a robust performance management framework, Quality for Children. Our three-year grant from the DCSF has helped us to invest in our practice improvement agenda that will continue to be the focus of our efforts in the coming year.

Our enduring aspiration is to provide a first rate service to all of the children and families we work with and to contribute to the well-being of children throughout England. I am confident that our stronger infrastructure and the foundations for practice improvement, which have already been laid, will provide the basis from which rapid enhancement of our service can now be made. There is still much work to be done but, as this Report demonstrates, each year we move closer to a service of which we can be justifiably proud.”
