Only one care order in 400 is being refused, the cost of such proceedings have increased tenfold

Prior too April 1st 2008, it cost Local Authority's £150 too instigate care proceedings,and now can cost as much as £4000.
With the current financial restraints, it will be interesting too see if the
current trend, of child stealing,and increase in care proceedings
continues?
Note Cafcass have extended their present guidance for another year, to cope with the backlog of cases requiring Guardian
input.only time will tell.
