Cafcass leaflets for children

 

The leaflets available on our website are our latest versions. You may be given an old version by your Cafcass worker, which looks a bit different, but the information is the same.

 

My Family's Changing leaflets

The 'My Family's Changing' leaflets are designed to offer help and support to children whose parents are divorcing or separating. They include ideas from other children who have been through similar experiences, games, spaces for children to write down and explore their feelings and details of organisations that can offer further help.

Leaflets about the role of Children's Guardian

Sometimes families have problems that they can't sort out by themselves.

When this happens a court for children and families may be asked to help make important decisions about your life. This might be about who you should live with or who you should see.

The role of the Children's Guardian is to help the court decide what is best for you.

Leaflets about Family Assistance Orders

If your parents can't agree on what is best for you, the court might appoint a Cafcass worker or a social worker from the local authority to give your family some extra help.

This is called a 'Family Assistance Order.'
