About us
Cafcass stands for Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service. Cafcass represents children in family court cases in England. We independently advise the family courts about what is safe for children and in their best interests. We put their needs, wishes and feelings first, making sure that children’s voices are heard at the heart of the family court setting. Operating within the law set by Parliament (Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000) and under the rules and directions of the family courts, we are independent of the courts, social services, education and health authorities and all similar agencies. Our duty is to safeguard and promote the welfare of children going through the family justice system, supporting over 140,000 children every year by understanding their experiences and speaking up for them when the family court makes critical decisions about their futures. Cafcass is the largest employer of qualified social workers in England and is deeply committed to making a positive difference to each child we support. We are proud that everyone working for Cafcass is united in improving the lives of children, families and carers. Cafcass is sponsored by the Ministry of Justice and is a non-departmental public body.

Shared on behalf of Cafcass Chief Executive, Jacky Tiotto and Cafcass Board Chair, Sally Cheshire: It is with the deepest sadness and regret, that we announce the death of Jack Cordery, our National Director of Operations who died unexpectedly on Sunday 17 November. Jack was known and loved by many in our children’s social work sector and was an extraordinary leader, practitioner and mentor. His career was long and impressive, his passion unrivalled, his energy unmatched. His life’s work was to improve the lives of children and during his many years professionally, he did just that. Without exception, people knew him as a remarkable man, who made a long lasting difference and impact on all those he met and helped. His smile and his humour lifted us all. Everyone reading this will be saddened by this news and for many, it will come as a shock. Please do leave your comments and memories which we will collate and share with Jack’s family in the weeks ahead. You will understand, everyone at Cafcass is trying to come to terms with this tragic and sudden loss and Jack’s family have asked for privacy at this time. We continue to do our very best for the children and families with whom we work as Jack did each and every day he was with us. It was a complete privilege to have worked and collaborated with him. We will miss you every day Jack.
