Cafcass has published a new animated film as a part of its ‘Taking me seriously’ series aiming to support children and young people who are involved in family court proceedings. Drawing on the voices of children with personal experience of family court proceedings, the episode aims to support children to feel as comfortable as possible when talking about their experiences, wishes and feelings, and encourages them to think about what they would like to discuss with their Cafcass support worker.
