Is it really that difficult to decide on what could replace Cafcass? See article here: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/09/01/115205/what-is-the-alternative-to-cafcass.htm
Simple, attach it to the local Courts or give the money to solicitors/advocates. Indeed the voluntary sector (i.e. the NSPCC – yes the NSPCC) have failed in delivering a service, as have some others in the private sector, mostly because they know shit all about the role of Guardians.
What does the NSPCC know about Guardian work – not a lot Wilt has heard.
It would be possible for the voluntary sector or independent sector to run it, although why bother? There are sufficient numbers of independent social workers to fulfil the role, provided it becomes accepted that in not all cases Guardians are actually required.
If it were the voluntary sector, perhaps it should be someone like Barnardoe’s – one of the organisations that remain to do some real social work and appear, to Wilt, to be grounded. We were amazed to hear the NSPCC and a certain private agency were supplying Guardians. Some people question what the NSPCC does at the best of times in terms of its core business (yes business), let alone expanding into Guardian work – for Gawd sake!
