What is the role of a Cafcass guardian
im confused because the one that has been appointed in relation to my legal battle with ex husband spoke to my son in February for maybe 45 minutes at the CAFCASS office, officer has not spoken to his teacher, seen his medical records, seen my son's interaction with either parent, and not even spoken to me about anything to do with what my husband has said that has caused officer to think my actions could be alienating my husband and his new family.
I told officer I have begged on occasions for my husband to see his son. My ex said in his statement he was worried about my emotional behaviour yet he only wants to call him 3 times a week - I offered him to speak to his son morning/ evening, basically whenever he wanted - he declined.
Guardian said he made a referral for me to have help with my sons behaviour (hes halfway being assessed for possible adhd) - when I asked txt him recently what happened to this referral he recommended - he txt me back "the company is no longer available" and never proceeded to ask me "why is there a problem" or recommend another referral (had I not have txt officer was officer just going to not tell me the referral was not in process?)
Is it normal officer has not once been in touch to ask how my son is doing (especially during this terrible time)
all she has done in been involved in contact issues and ensuring the ex girlfriend can collect my son (even though the previous court order stated gfriend need not be present at handover)
My ex doesn't want to speak to me at handover, over email, phone txt - he only wants to know if my son is in hospital or any change to the contact during this COVID 19 situation. He ignores me infron of my son and tells my son "im the boss not mummy"
we were both ordered to go to an SIPP Couse months ago but what use is that when one parent is not interested in communicating with the other
why did the Guardian did not think this was highly unusual or try and mediate to help better communication between parents for the benefit of a little boy who is 6 by the way.
The officer seemed to think I was "micro managing" by trying to feed any information about my sons emotional state and behaviour when he returned home from my husband house with his girlfriend and her 3 kids.
officer has also jumped on an alienation bandwagon due to the fact a social worker LIED and said I told my son to "tell them what daddy did" when we were told to go to hospital because my son had bruises (the social worker lied - did a terrible report about me when she doesn't know me and then she left the Council!)
As you all may know the cafcass officer is influenced by the social workers report and social worker lied and said I couldn't manage my son who was in a box room in a hospital and with possible adhd you can imagine he was bored and didn't know why he was there as I tried to shield him from the fact they were checking out bruising.
So WHAT EXACTLY IS THE CAFCASS GUARDIANS ROLE
Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks all
