answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>While complaints made to Cafcass by children and young people are monitored nationally, it collects, monitors and acts on feedback at a local level. Cafcass has commissioned the Family Justice Young People's Board to review how children and young people provide feedback to Cafcass and advise on ways to encourage more feedback both via formal and informal routes. Cafcass now has various methods of obtaining feedback from the children and young people it works with which include more formal methods such as feedback forms and more informal and child-friendly methods such as ‘feedback trees'. Feedback trees encourage children to write out or draw their feelings on how Cafcass has worked with them, allowing Cafcass practitioners to build on this feedback. There is no central or national monitoring of this informal feedback.</p> answering member constituency Bermondsey and Old Southwark answering member printed Simon Hughes question first answered 13/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 194 label Biography information for Simon Hughes
