Frustrating Child Access Case - What Next?

My son has made an application for child access through the courts. His ex is quite determined that he wont be able to see his child (age 3) and has resorted to many nasty allegations to hold up the process and is feeding them to the court a bit at a time to delay procedures - which is working - its taken a year so far.
The current situation is that the court has ordered supervised visits through CAFCASS. His ex has now told CAFCASS that she has no intention of complying with the court order because she wasnt given the chance to fully have her say at the last court hearing.
This is the second court order - she prevented the first set of supervised visits by claiming at the last minute that my son had raped her (to the CAFCASS officer) then denied saying it when it was reported back to the court.
Will she really be able to get away with directly defying a court order?
What will happen if she just keeps refusing access?

He has to persevere.

My uncle went through something similar and nothing happened to the mother.

What did happen is my cousin got to see how much time and money he spent on getting access to her so no matter what the mother said she knew he fought for her and it's all documented.

Thanks Ummmm - luckily this court process has made him stronger and more determined individual as a result of her actions.
I guessed nothing will happen to the mother. His solicitor has told him to apply for costs for any new court action - this might get her attention in the unlikely event that the court awards it.
I think that No access = No support payments and vv. Should equal anyway!

worth a go next time in court
it is clear she has been unreasonable and those are grounds enough
