Case loads have not reduced in any meaningful way. At first glance case loads appear to be reducing but not the number of active cases. Active caseloads have increased for every fca in cafcass. The introduction of post assessment hubs has increased workload, at the same time cafcass has increased expectations and widened the fca job. Cafcass wonder why fcas are unhappy. The hubs were sold as supportive, but they were introduced to show a progress that doesn’t exist. Plus ‘average’ is a lie, it includes those leaving, joining, returning, part-time.

recently left cafcass after over 20 years in social work, the majority of them with cafcass The organization has lots of policies to promote wellbeing but managers don’t or won’t care about staff. Staff are leaving, often back to local authority work despite how difficult that work is.

Statements such as we can do more and striving for exceptionality,in a context where the courts are creaking at the seams, with year on year increases in applications, dosent feel like it’s going to end well in terms of social work burn out. There needs to be a push upwards for change at a systemic level. The whole private law system needs to be overhauled.
But instead, a current trend in the public sector seems to be for the push to go downwards, with individual workers scrutinised if they cant keep up and “well being washing” hailed as the answer to surviving mega- caseloads.

In reply to Unimpressed.... Agreed. How a section 7 Report which is based on opinion and not facts is used as a professional judgement to make recommendations which are ultimately used by judges to make life changing decisions about children is beyond me.

26 weeks dream on I’m on 156 weeks and counting I’m not really sure how any of this is good for the welfare of the children. Something they promote!

The most expert skilled staff are leaving and pay although a factor is not solely the issue. Working conditions and caseloads of well over 20 is. As is the relentless change and ever increasing demands of what is expected. It’s very sad and somewhat worrying

20% staff turnover is as a result of high workloads(average much higher than 20) relentless change and an extremely toxic work environment. Yes pay hasn’t kept pace but it is disingenuous to suggest that senior leadership is not the issue

In reply to Clare. Couldn't agree more. Never in my 5 years at Cafcass has my caseload looked anything like the numbers reflected in this article. Nor might I add have I ever had to work so much unpaid overtime to try and meet the never ending, ever increasing paperwork demands.

I have not often, in a lengthy career, met a social worker who would not wish to provide an ‘exceptional service for every child everywhere, every time’ if this were possible. However, my experience of Cafcass is that this admirable ambition is not being well implemented. The systemic challenges both within and outside of the organisation’s control in relation to pressures and demand in the social work sector, mean that is it virtually impossible to provide such exceptional service at all times- sad but true. My concern is that the organisation is using this overriding objective to locate ‘failure to achieve’ within individual practice where this is not always warranted or fair. This sadly leads to skilled and dedicated practitioners leaving the organisation as they are not prepared to be held responsible for what they cannot control- way beyond reasonable demand on individual practitioners, burnout, disillusionment all on the increase
