Dear Ms Foster
Re: Freedom of Information Request
Thank you for your recent request, which was received on 19th June 2009 requesting the
following:
1
Please say how many families have been forced to flee abroad due to their concerns
about their childrens care in the 'care system'
2
How many parents and relatives have been labelled with personality disorders after
having psychological/psychiatric assessments in order to get their children returned to
their care.
Please supply these figures on a yearly basis.
Cafcass does not collect or hold this information. I am also not aware of any organisation that
holds this information.
If you are unhappy with the decisions made in relation to your request, you may ask for an
internal review to be undertaken. If you are dissatisfied with the way the internal review is
handled or with the final decision made at that review about the information released, you are
