Child protection at heart of family courts review.
A review launched on 9th November 2020 aims to consider how the current approach to decisions on parental access made in the family courts is impacting child safety. It is the next step forward for government’s wider plans to reform family courts and bring greater protection in for domestic abuse victims.
It outlines the use of independent experts to represent the views of victims, families and professionals. The review forms part of government’s major overhaul of the family courts to better protect victims.
