Background

Any meetings (wherever they happen), emails, phone calls and court hearings involving the parties to Family Court proceedings and court staff, judges or officers of the court such as CAFCASS staff or other professionals who are required to give expert evidence, should be recorded and retained.

Additional details

Where possible minutes of meetings should be agreed by all present, and if not disagreements should be noted. Family Court proceedings cause services and individuals to protect their personal position. We believe that a member of court staff, judge or other professional who is threatened with their job by an alienating parent is no longer impartial.
