Cafcass was set up on 1st April 2001 under the provisions of the Criminal Justice and Court Services Act, which brought together the family court services previously provided by the Family Court Welfare Service, the Guardian ad Litem Service and the Children’s Division of the Official Solicitor’s Office.

We are a non-departmental public body accountable to Chris Grayling, MP, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Justice (MoJ). We work within the strategic objectives agreed by our sponsor department and contribute to wider government objectives relating to children.


Cafcass stands for Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service.

We are the largest employer of social workers in England.

Cafcass is independent of the courts, social services, education and health authorities and all similar agencies.
