Cafcass Private Law team in London requires a Qualified Social Worker to join their team.
Minimum Requirements:
Suitable candidates must have a degree in social work and at least 2-3 years post qualification experience working in a Children Team that ideally involved court work.
About Cafcass:
Cafcass is Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service. Cafcass usually gets involved in child proceedings once you or your former partner have submitted an application to the court.
Role Overview:
The role of Cafcass is to safeguard and promote the welfare of children by considering their needs, wishes, and feelings in child cases. The court usually asks Cafcass advisors to work with families and advise the family court of the interests, needs, wishes, and feelings of a child.
Responsibilities:
A Cafcass section 7 report may be needed in one of the following matters:
1. A Child Arrangements Order when deciding who the child is to live with and with whom the child is to have contact.
2. A Prohibited Steps Order preventing either parent from doing certain things or making decisions without the permission of the other parent.
3. A Specific Issue Order, an order to determine a specific question arising in relation to a child.
A report will contain background information, key facts, and most importantly will set out the child's needs and wishes in accordance with the Welfare Checklist. When preparing a report, the Cafcass officer or social services will need to see the child usually independently as well as interviewing both parents individually.
