Feedback and complaints for adults
Feedback
We welcome feedback on our services, please complete the feedback forms to help us understand your experience to help us improve our services.
If we are currently working with you or have just completed our work with you, you will find a feedback link and QR code in welcome /introduction or goodbye letters we have sent you. These links can be used to provide feedback on our services.
If you haven’t received one of these letters, please use one of the forms below.
Although we try hard to provide high quality services to children and their families, we know that sometimes you might be unhappy with the way we have worked with you. If you are unhappy, please tell your Cafcass worker or their manager as soon as possible so that they can quickly understand your concerns and try to put things right.
Complaints
If you would like to make a complaint, please read the documents below to find out about our complaints procedure.
We are open to all feedback as part of our commitment to hearing directly from families and learning from their experiences. Your feedback, including complaints, is an opportunity to improve things. The following pointers may help you in writing your complaint and will help us in our investigation:
- Try to keep your complaint to no more than two pages, using bullet points or headers if this helps you to structure your concerns;
- Tell us what you are unhappy about. We understand that family court proceedings can be stressful, we will speak with you respectfully and we ask that you do the same;
- Explain what you would like to achieve as a result of your complaint, such as an apology, an explanation, or an improvement in service;
- Tell us what we could have done differently, to improve the experience of you and your family.
Please note that where you do not agree with our recommendations or assessment in a report for the court, you need to raise your concerns in court where they can be explored. These types of concerns can only be dealt with in court and not as part of our complaints process.
