What assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of funding for the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service.
- Answer
-
We acknowledge that Cafcass continues to experience high levels of demand while managing a rise in the number of open cases.
The Ministry of Justice has allocated an additional £3.4m this year to help Cafcass meet these challenges.
Cafcass has in place a protocol to, where necessary, prioritise cases in local service areas so it can continue to meet the needs of the most vulnerable children and families.
