Cafcass and Parental Alienation

[CuriousAndCurious]

Without going into too much detail... DC are due to speak with a Cafcass Guardian regarding a change in residency. I’m just genuinely curious in people’s opinions of how effective Cafcass are at identifying PA specifically. Do they know what they’re looking at or is this something a Psychologist has to work out?

My experience of a cafcass guardian was that they were amazingly thorough and astute. They still requested psychologist reports though and DC was seen by them with both parents individually. If your case is progressing down this route they will leave no stone unturned in my experience, but then ours went to crown court and took almost a year.

@JesusWearsPrada. Thanks. That is reassuring to know.
