Rising care demand: Cafcass to protect frontline services
Cafcass is to protect frontline services from the
effects of rising care demand by reducing back office posts and
changing ways of working.
Anthony Douglas, CBE, Cafcass’ Chief Executive
commented, "Cafcass has a duty to protect the frontline services we
offer children and families in need of support. Rising demand in
both care cases and latterly in private law has meant that costs
have escalated. We need to safeguard more children and
families as well as balance our budget. This unfortunately
means that we will need to cut some posts in our corporate
centre.”
