Hi there! We only had contact with CAFCASS when our particular case was going to court after pre-proceedings had failed in finding an outcome and things had escalated to a court hearing for a care order. I'm not 100% positive that they definitely wouldn't be involved before that but certainly not at a CIN level.

Hi thank you for your reply that's what I was thinking as well my son was on child protection before and they were involved before but the socail Woker did say if I was to get back with my husband it will like a child in need he will be on and do new assignments again he can have unsupervised contact next year he will be 7 years old and his risk assment bu Lucyfaith is low risk .
