[kittycat68]

cafacass have recomended contact for my children with their dad whom we left due to abuse. they have refused to see him for the last 18months, ex went to court as self litigant for enforcment order, kids 10 and 15 and are petrified of him they have told cafcass of the abuse but the report says he how works in a SEN school and as there is no recenet abuse he should be now having over night contact. what do i do they dont want anything to do with him cafcass seem more inclined to belive he has changed than to listening to the children , 20 years of abuse now he has changed i dont think so! help.

Family assistance order just means that the cafcass officer will stay involved for another period of time to make sure whatever contact order is made is followed. The officer should outline their aims/priorities for the period (usually 3 months, can be 6 or 12)keep you informed of progress and facilitate communication between you and the ex.

In family proceedings the views of children under ten to twelve are taking into consideration but unlike older children their views are not the primary determinant cAfcass advisor should have completed a domestic abuse pathway assessment including the use of the safe contact indicator assessment tool. How old are your children?
