Towards this end, the following are some of the measures that are being proposed to help fight parent alienation:
• Equipping Cafcass caseworkers with a new set of guidelines that will help them deal with any suspected alienation in a divorce case.
• Cafcass has also come up with a twelve week programme aimed at positive parenting. The program is designed to help a parent empathise with their child and hopefully correct their destructive behaviour.
• In the event that the above measures don’t work, psychologists will be brought in to try and rehabilitate the alienating parent. Continued abuse by the parent will result in supervised visits with limited contact with the child.
• In the worst case scenario, the child will be completely taken away from the parent for an indefinite period of time.
Many are happy with the new approach by Cafcass to deal with parent alienation which has damaged the lives of so many children. Demonising a parent to a kid can have a damaging effect to the particular child even in their adult life. Hopefully, this process will help salvage kids from parent alienation.
