When Is a C1A Application Form Required?
A C1A form is required when you are applying to family court and there are concerns about domestic violence, abuse, or harm to a child. You must complete this form alongside a C100 application when the following circumstances apply:
- There are allegations of domestic abuse involving the applicant or the children
- A child is at risk of physical, emotional, psychological, or sexual harm
- There is a risk of child abduction or removal from the UK
- A protective order such as a Non-Molestation Order or Occupation Order is in place
The family court uses the C1A form to assess safety risks and decide what measures are needed to protect the child before any contact or arrangement orders are made.
What Happens After You Submit the C1A Form?
After submitting the C1A form to the family court, a Cafcass (Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service) officer will review the information provided. The family court may request a safeguarding check or a more detailed welfare report. The court will then consider the concerns raised before making any orders about child arrangements. You may be asked to attend a Dispute Resolution Appointment or a final hearing where the allegations in your C1A form will be considered.
If you need related documents, you can find a domestic violence form and a domestic violence intake form on FormsPal to support your application.
