Mr. Andrew Mitchell: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what budget has been allocated to the Children and
Family Courts Advisory Service in each of the last two years; and how many staff have been employed by the Service in each of the
last two years. [201862]
Margaret Hodge: The budget for CAFCASS has increased steadily since its formation in April 2001.
CAFCASS's budget allocation in 2002-03 was £84.5 million (on a cash basis and including £4 million unspent from
2001-02). The baseline budget for 2003-04 was £95 million. In addition, £2.5 million was provided to help with the
transition from cash to resource accounting.
The total cost for the running of CAFCASS in the financial year 2003-04 was £99 million.
The budget allocation for 2004-05 is £107 million, representing an increase of £12 million over the baseline budget.
The total numbers of staff (full-time and part-time) employed at 1 April 2003 and 1 April 2004 were as follows:
1 April 2003
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Number
Full time 1,306
Part time 578
Total staff 1,884

In addition, there were 406 self-employed CAFCASS practitioners on 1 April 2003.
1 April 2004
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Number
Full time 1,360
Part time 558
Total staff 1,918
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
In addition, there were 441 self-employed CAFCASS practitioners on 1 April 2004.
Note: The discrepancy between the total figures given here (1,884 and 1,918) and those quoted in the CAFCASS 2003-04 Annual Report
(1,879 and 1,932) is because CAFCASS subsequently undertook a data cleansing exercise of its management information systems and
redefined the criteria used for employed staff. Furthermore, CAFCASS had included Board members and agency staff in its historical
data.
