Thank you message to all involved in the Family Justice and Court System
This recent message from The President’s Chambers has been issued to all those working in the Family Court system during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Keeping family justice and family courts working during the crisis has been difficult and we have all learnt much from the process. We look to incorporate many of the ideas in order to improve access to justice for all.
“We hope that this short message will be read by every person involved in the Family Justice system and Court of Protection in England and Wales.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this year more than any other has been extraordinary. Even in these unprecedented times each one of you has played your part to keep our heavily burdened system functioning. Through your hard work, you have continued to deliver justice for the benefit of children and their families during the past 12 months, most particularly during the COVID crisis. We know that for many this has not been at all easy at times, and that the pressure from the unremitting volume of work and indeed the way in which we have had to work, is not to be under-estimated. Knowing that this is so, redoubles our appreciation for all that you do.
The President continues his recovery, and we look forward to his return in the Autumn. We know that he would want to thank you all for everything that you have done and to wish you all a very enjoyable and restful break.
Mrs Justice Theis and Lady Justice King”
