Affordable CAFCAS fees
I want parents and grandparents to be able to access the services of CAFCAS at an affordable cost.
I suggest that cost is the hourly rate of the minimum wage which would make it accessible to all of the population. The current charge quoted was £100 initial fee then £171 per session with a recommended 5 sessions.
Why is this important?
This will enable parents and grandparents to have access to children when parental relationships breakdown.
This will reduce the emotional harm done to children when they are prevented from seeing their family members. They will not feel abandoned.
It will reduce the conflict between adults who need support to understand the affect their behaviour has on a child.
This will make conciliation affordable to all.
