Organisational Structure & Law Firms used

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Children and Family Court Advisory Support Service should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Children and Family Court Advisory Support Service,

1. I understand Cafcass is organised by region, i.e. A 1, A2, A3 etc and individual teams comprised within these are referred to as 'LT', such as LT1, LT2 etc. Please can you confirm this and provide what the acronym stands for.

2. Please provide the number of LTs that make up A14

3. Please provide a list of all law firms used by Cafcass A14 on an annual basis from 2015, with the number of cases assigned to each of those law firms for each of those years.

Thank you in advance for processing my FOI.

Yours faithfully,
Alison Melville

Governance, Children and Family Court Advisory Support Service
