Children’s interactive apps: This Much! and Backdrop
Dear Children and Family Court Advisory Support Service,
I see that you have recently developed 2 apps for children "This Much!" and "Backdrop"
Please provide copies of the approved screen creatives and content of these 2 apps, ideally with an app structure, so that it can be understood what each app is, how it behaves, what it looks like, and what content and messages are displayed to the children you use them with.
If it is easier please supply install files for each app - either iOS or Android versions will be acceptable. If you have them in another version please let me know and I can confirm whether I am able to install it.
Yours faithfully,
G. Harrison

Dear Governance - Cafcass,
Thank you for your response and for the further information you have supplied.
Most of the information you ahve supplied relates to the original apps developed by C&FT however you say that "Cafcass adapted version of the apps are only available to Cafcass staff" indicating that you have your own versions. This is supported by the screenshot you have included which indicates your specific apps have screens that have used Cafcass specific imagery.
My request was:
"Please provide copies of the approved screen creatives and content of these 2 apps, ideally
with an app structure, so that it can be understood what each app is, how it behaves, what it
looks like, and what content and messages are displayed to the children you use them with.
If it is easier please supply install files for each app - either iOS or Android versions will be
acceptable. If you have them in another version please let me know and I can confirm
whether I am able to install it"
Please would you:
1. provide copies of the approved Cafcass screen creatives and Cafcass content of these 2 apps
2. provide an app structure, so that it can be understood what each app is, how it behaves, what it
looks like, and what content and messages are displayed to the children you use them with
3. supply install files for each app - you say Cafcass are using desktop versions - please supply install files for these desktop versions
Yours sincerely,
G. Harrison
Dear G Harrison,
Thank you for your email.
Cafcass does not have approved screen creatives or detail of the app
structure for the Backdrop and This Much apps. The apps were developed by,
and are property of, Child and Family Training.
The Cafcass content of Backdrop and This Much consists of the inclusion
of Cafcass illustrations. The remaining content of the apps is that of the
original apps, which are available to purchase and download from the Child
and Family Training [1]website. The [2]Backdrop and [3]This Much pages on
the Child and Family Training website provide further information and
screen shot of the apps, including detail of how it looks, the content and
what messages are shown to children.
Cafcass has paid a license cost to use the apps and we cannot supply
install files for the apps as they are the property of Child and Family
Training. [4]Backdrop and [5]This Much can be purchased and downloaded
from the Child and Family Training [6]website.
Kind regards,
Governance Team | Cafcass
