    This is very interesting...
    I have actually submitted a C2 application to court requesting such information from CAFCASS and my application was denied by the Judge, as the court cannot order CAFCASS to disclose such information, apparently.
    I'd love to hear some feedback on this.

      ​​@@mckenziefrienduknetworkYes, and 2 and a half years later, WHAT is the legal standing on requesting FULL DISCLOSURE from family destroyer agencies??
      As far I knew, full disclosure is one's legal right before appearing at court and being blindsided. I am in Ireland, and such is the case here. I am quite sure that both of our legal systems are 98% veritable hybrids of each other.
      Additionally, surely a 'FOI' -Freedom of Information request is applicable too??
      Please inform us Philip.
      Thanks for your brilliant videos.

    If you ask for the Cafcass call to be recorded, the Cafcass officer will tell you that they have to inform the other parent and their legal team.

    Thank you for the video Phil, quick question please if you don't mind.
    Is it best to take same approach with Cafcass Guardian or are they slightly different from the Cafcass officer who makes original phonecall or who does the section 7 report?

    • @mckenziefrienduknetwork
      @mckenziefrienduknetwork  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good question. Yes you could but their roles are different. Guardians may be appointed when there is resistance from the resident parent, so quite often their position is to support the non-resident parent getting contact. Not in every case though. When it comes to a Guardian I would give it more thought to pick my moments and approach carefully. Hope that helps.

      The court doesn't exist. It is a fictional entity.
      The *judge* is the one who makes decisions and to whom one's appeals need to be made.

    Conplete waste of time caffcass, never return your calls, drag there heels with everything, never answer texts. My one i have to wait for a section 7 report to speak to my kids again. Taking absolutely ages, saying to me they will do this and do that then next minute dont. Im sure they do this on purpose to test you. Ie see if you will snap.

      @@mckenziefrienduknetwork I had a hair strand test and it came back as 0.1 of 1mg and they told the court it was a medium reading, even though I don’t smoke cannabis. They said they couldn’t counteract the fact it could be from environmental causes, e.g someone smoking near me. But the court still saw it as I’m a drug user even though they couldn’t categorically say I was! I even called another drug testing company and they said it was a very low reading, what are your thoughts on this?

      ​@@mckenziefrienduknetwork Indeed, and for that reason it would be most helpful to have this explained. The 'C2' reference suggests that this is an application for a court order - presumably requesting the court to order Cafcass to disclose whatever material - but to whom (the court, the applicant, all the parties)? How does its effectiveness differ from that of a SAR? e.g. can a C2 obtain info which could be legitimately 'excluded' under a SAR? Where, if at all, are there set out limitations on what a C2 order can require to be disclosed? How quickly can an order be issued following application, and how long would Cafcass have to respond (c.f. 28 days for a SAR)? I can find no examples of this route having been followed (successfully or otherwise). I imagine that the 1st hurdle is to get the court to agree that the request is justified (in its eyes) and in the form requested. A SAR is under closer control of the applicant, at least in some respects..

      @@sydoverington5274 Thank you for your considered questions. Yes, it is entirely different from a SAR. A SAR is very limited to disclosing basic information that a body holds on you. It can exclude the providing of documents, or if it does include documents they would usually be redacted to be of no use. A court order however has a far wider power when it comes to disclosure. In essence, the court can order the disclosure that is deemed necessary and relevant. You are right, why has this not been routinely done? Because no one rocks the boat!. However, I am aware that as a result of my vlog, that this has been attempted and a Judge has agreed. Full disclosure of original notes and assessments of Social Services has been ordered following their S.7 after a C2 was put in, Social Services appear to be resisting the court order probably in panic! I can't say much more at this time but watch this space. SARs have little merit and they are not court-ordered. However, I believe that if Cafcass ever state that they have applied any tools that inform their professional judgement, that a person must have access to the tools that were applied and the notes associated with those tools. Without those, how can an 'expert' witness ever be challenged? This is all about challenging the courts from the inside. LIP's need to empower themselves to challenge the system, and to use it to their advantage. The alternative is to continue to be lambs to the slaughter. Even lawyers don't do this because it would cause chaos and they just play the game. That's the power of being a LIP and believe me I am only beginning in my thoughts.
