SLCPP report - A Year in Proceedings

The South London Care Proceedings Project (SLCPP) is a partnership of four local authorities (Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark), the judiciary at the Central Family Court (CFC), Cafcass, and local family lawyers. The agencies work together to reduce delay for children in care proceedings, aiming for case completion by 26 weeks.

This report tracks the progress of the 384 care cases brought before the CFC between May 2013 and April 2014 (Year 1) and it includes results of final hearings to September 2014. It has been written by the local authority case managers whose role is to track all care cases against agreed variables, analyse data and identify emerging trends each quarter, and help improve social work and other professional decision making.
