What is a Section 7?
A section 7 report is usually required when the court has requested this to be commissioned either by Cafcass or the social services to assist them in reaching a decision on a child proceedings case concerning the welfare of a child. A report will assist the court in considering a family dispute between the parents and determining an outcome of the dispute.
Section 37: What is a CAFCASS section 37 report?
A section 37 report is prepared when the courts become concerned surrounding the welfare of a child. The courts will order a section 37 report to address their concerns and essentially are asking the local authority to consider whether it should be taking further steps to protect a child. The court directs the local authority to undertake a thorough investigation into the child's circumstances and report its findings to the court.
