1. Is there any connection between childhood experiences and future parenting abilities. Can you supply evidence to back up your response.
2. Do professionals like Cafcass, Guardian ad litem, Psychologists etc have access to child social services paperwork prior to doing their assessments? If so what type of information is shared and is this only in child social services vs parents or also in custody disputes?
3. Do child social services share paperwork, even historical with other child social services areas for example from Coventry to South Yorkshire and if so under what circumstances?
4. How often is misinformation passed between different child social services areas and what can the person that misinformation pertains to do about it?

No information held. We cannot answer these questions as to answer them would be offering personal view and experience and this is not the purpose of the Freedom of Information Act. Information would be shared where there is a lawful/legal basis to do so and would be purely circumstantial with no one size fits all approach. Again the type of information that would be exchanged will be case dependent and what is necessary, proportionate, adequate, timely, and lawful. 'Misinformation' is a vague term which is dependent on a persons interpretations of the information - under the Data Protection Act individuals have a number of Rights where inaccurate information can be altered, deleted, amended or restrict processing depending on the situation. It can also come down to timing as to what information is needed when, or when records where last updated. Where professional opinions are made, rather than factual details, objections can be noted against the material to indicate that the individual has disputed the opinion.
