Dear Ms Stewart-Taylor 
 
Re: Freedom of Information Request  
 
Thank you for your recent request, which was passed on to Cafcass from the DCSF on 28th 
September 2009 and passed onto myself, requesting the following: 
 
Is it a statutory breech of the Family Courts, for CAFCASS guardians, Social Workers and 
Childrens Solicitors, to intimidate a Mother with threats of Forced Adoption for her 
children, if she does not get rid of her McKenzie friend? This happened at Barrow in 
Furness Family Court. 
 
This letter serves to acknowledge that Cafcass received your request on 28th September 
2009 and I will be dealing with it the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. 
 
Your reference number is CAF 261 
 
Under the Act, Cafcass is required to notify you as to the final decision made regarding your 
request 20 working days from receipt of your request.  You will receive a response on or 
before 26th October 2009.  
 
 
 
Yours sincerely, 
 
Miss Jasvinder Jassal
