New Templates for Social Worker Statements

The Association of Directors of Children’s Services (ADCS) and Cafcass have together – with the endorsement of the President of the Family Division – produced new templates for social worker statements.  It is anticipated that the templates will be in use across the country by the end of this year.

The intention is to standardise best practice and to ensure that all statements are compliant with current case law and statute.

The Initial Case Analysis and Final Statement are available to download from our Resources page.  A guidance document has also been produced which can be downloaded here.
