raised we expect cafcass to look it —— into it carefully. is raised we expect cafcass to look it -- so how would you know if you're being manipulated by a parent and indirectly by the child? it would be very difficult. i think it is rare, but i think it does happen. i think that parents are so distraught sometimes by the break—up of the relationship that they just cannot say anything nice about the other partner and therefore the child, and children like to have a happy life as well and they want an easy life, so they don't want to keep feeling guilty about seeing the other partner so they start to say i don't wa nt to partner so they start to say i don't want to see that person. you were fuming. i'm not fuming at charlotte, to be clear, i'm fuming that that argument could pass through a judge that anyone with even the most basic level of understanding about domestic abuse could never fall for the idea of an isolated incident. it is basically paint by numbers understanding of domestic abuse. there is no he lost his temper and bashed me around, it is part of a pattern of abuse that g

they will have advice from cafcass about that.a contact at all costs... that is what it feels like to some people. i can understand that in an individual case it may feel, to the mother of the child, that that right of the father has been given priority over what she thinks ought to happen. in these disputed cases, then it is also inevitable that someone is going to feel the court has got it wrong. it is tragic when you have a consequence of the kind that we have heard about in your film. i can't believe any court would have made orders that allowed that to happen, knowing that it was a significant risk that would happen. the court in question must have been convinced there wasn't a risk... the whole point is, because it is so secret, we don't know if the history ever came before the judge. we are not allowed to know that detail. we don't know if it was included in the report, in the risk assessment. well, you will no doubt hear about the cafcass process, but when the application comes on in the first place, cafcass do ask the pol

cafcass. do you not think that is adequate? the element absolutely not. why?s, accept that they are, and there may even be convictions for domestic abuse, however we think it is still safe. and i do not think that risk assessment is correct. i do not think there is enough expertise in terms of that risk assessment, because children are being murdered by parents on court order contact. we are talking about extreme cases, for children —— four children in this case, but one death is one too many. generally our courts getting it right? there are some greatjudges, courts getting it right? there are some great judges, and courts getting it right? there are some greatjudges, and great cafcass offices out there who get it right, but there are those who are... who fall below the mark and i believe, are continuing to put children and women at risk. thank you rachel. politicians in the us state of alabama have passed a bill for a near total ban on abortion across the state — even in cases of rape and incest. the legislation, which now needs to be signed off by the govern

and the workload that social workers and cafcass have, having 90 cases, how can you possibly advise andand it will take enormous political will and resources to fix it, and as i have saidi resources to fix it, and as i have said i do not think it is there. but it is terribly important. thank you for -- thank you for coming on the programme. still to come... in her first tv or radio interview, the university student raped by former worcestershire county cricketer alex hepburn speaks exclusively to us today about the the ptsd, the panic attacks and the facial paralysis she suffered in the aftermath of her ordeal and the hideous realisation she was raped as part of a competition to see how many women he and his friends could have sex with. hepburn has no idea, i believe, the extent of what his stupid actions that might cost. google —— that night caused. there are no winners here, in terms of the competition, in terms of both of our futures. there are no winners here, he has no idea, hejustjust disregarded rape for all of its meaning, hejoked about it, and then he did it. he‘s got no idea o
