Cafcass represents children in family court cases. We make sure that children's voices are heard and decisions are taken in their best interests.

We are independent of the courts, social services, education and health authorities and all similar agencies.

Cafcass stands for Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service.

Cafcass may be asked by the court to work with families in three main areas:

•Divorce and separation

•Care proceedings

•Adoption
