In the latest of our #familycourtfiles series, @hansummers reports on how a @MyCafcass officer recommended a serial rapist should have contact with his child, leaving her mother "devastated"
A mother who won an appeal in the family court has criticised Cafcass as a "harmful organisation" and "not fit for purpose" after the agency recommended a convicted sex offender who also raped her should have contact with their child. My report for @TBIJ

After we published our story, the MD of Ethero, the seasonal worker recruiter that had its licence revoked by the Home Office,posted this on Linkedin. He says they're bringing legal action against the Home Office & denies the company caused "welfare issues" for seasonal workers.
Enforcement is a pillar of the new government's immigration policy,but who suffers from the fallout of regulatory action? In the case of a recent sponsor licence revocation about 100 workers were left in limbo for months. Many are now in debt & unemployed https://t.co/J7c7TSv1dw
