Your situation is not uncommon. Indeed in the forum at http://www.afairercsaforall.co.uk have others that have been in a similar position.

CMEC is a new body, although the same staff in the same buildings will carry out essentially the same work — or at least with the same aim.

The Commission is not directly part of government and they have an arm’s-length relationship with Ministers.

ALL parents, non resident and resident, who are dissatisfied with agency need to have their voices heard.
Our petition http://afairercsaforall.co.uk/petition/ is still open for signatures and we are in the process of organising a protest date.

Our group is one of the faster growing CSA/CMEC help, advice and support groups. Created and run by parents for parents – Its freely available to ALL.
