Research at Cafcass
Cafcass is committed to evidence-informed practice based on,
amongst other things, good quality research. As a part of
this commitment, every year Cafcass becomes involved with research
projects. In some cases the research is initiated by Cafcass. In
other situations, external researchers contact Cafcass, asking for
our help with their research. This can take a number of forms, for
example:
- Interviewing Cafcass staff
- Obtaining information about our work from
electronic and paper records
- Contacting children and families who have
received Cafcass services to ask if they want to participate in
research projects.
Any researcher interested in doing research
that involves Cafcass in any way must first obtain approval from
the organisation.
