MPs have said, "An urgent inquiry is needed into unregulated psychological experts being used in high-conflict disputes to diagnose whether one parent has attempted to “alienate” their child from the other....there is growing concern that, too often, false claims of parental alienation are being used as a legal tactic to silence a parent or undermine allegations of domestic abuse...Not only are utterly unqualified individuals being allowed to testify as supposed experts in these cases, Cafcass too has overseen the rise in such allegations.”
