The legal framework of family justice in England and Wales is strong. Its principles are right, in particular the starting point that the welfare of children must be paramount. Every year 500,000 parents and children are involved in the system. But the system is under great strain: cases take far too long (the average case took 53 weeks in 2010); too many private law disputes end up in court; the system lacks coherence; there is growing mistrust leading to layers of checking and scrutiny; little mutual learning or feedback; a worrying lack of IT and management information. The Review's recommendations aim: to bring greater coherence through organisational change and better management; making the system more able to cope with current and future pressures; to reduce duplication of scrutiny to the appropriate level; and to divert more issues away from the courts. The chapters of the review cover: the current system; the proposed Family Justice Service; public law; private law; financial implications and implementation; and there are eighteen annexes. The proposals are now out for consultation, with the final report due in autumn 2011.

The Family Justice Review examines the effectiveness of the family justice system and the outcomes it delivers. The review covers both public and private law cases; explores if better use can be made of mediation and how best to support contact between children and non-resident parents or grandparents; examines the processes (but not the law) involved in granting divorces and awarding ancillary relief, and looks at how the different parts of the family justice system are organised and managed. The review is aiming to produce a system which allows families to reach easy, simple and efficient agreements which are in the best interests of children whilst protecting children and vulnerable adults from risk of harm. The agencies and professionals directly involved in the family justice system are all in scope for the Review. This final report takes into account views expressed during the consultation on the interim report and the call for evidence. It makes a number of recommendations to improve public and private law and looks at how the agencies within the family justice system could work together more effectively to improve the experience for children and families

This book was released on 2013-06-03. Family Justice available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book is about the delivery of family justice in England and Wales, focusing on the work of the family judiciary in the lower courts. The policy context is moving so rapidly that the authors have gone beyond presenting their empirical findings to offer a broader consideration of the nature and role of the family justice system, as these are in danger of being lost amid present reform proposals. The first four chapters are historical and comparative, examining assumptions about family justice and offering a defence of the role of legal rights in family life, and the importance of good policy-making balancing outcome- and behaviour-focused approaches to family justice. Comparative examples from the US and Australia show how new approaches to family justice can be successfully deployed. The next three chapters are empirical, including a typology of the roles played and tasks addressed by the judges, overturning the commonly held assumption that the central judicial role is adjudication, emphasising the extent to which judges integrate outcome- and behaviour-focused approaches to family justice, and giving a detailed account of the daily work of circuit and district judges and legal advisers. The conclusion is that there is a trend across jurisdictions, driven by technological innovation and by economic constraints, to reduce the role of courts and lawyers in favour of individual choices based on private or government-funded information sources. While these developments can be beneficial, they also have dangers and limitations. The final chapter argues that despite the move to privatised forms of dispute resolution, family justice still demands a sound judicial structure.

The Government response to the Family Justice Review available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Government accepts the overwhelming majority of the recommendations made in the final report of the Family Justice Review (2011, ISBN 9780108511158), and proposes a system with children's and families' needs at its heart. The proposed reforms will put practical measures in place to ensure children's voices are heard before and during the court process. A new Family Justice Board will be established in April 2012 and will take the detail of the recommendations forward. All measures will comply with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Changes to public law are designed to tackle delay and put more focus on the child. Changes to private law will support families to reach their own agreements without needing to being their issues to the courts. Mediation and other support services will again be child-centred, and with a presumption of shared parenting where separation occurs. A new web and telephony service providing a single gateway to advice and guidance for separating parents will be commissioned in 2012 and operational in 2013. Divorce proceedings will be streamlined. Cafcass will move under the sponsorship of the Ministry of Justice. Those working in the family justice system need to change culture and practices if these reforms are to succeed, and judicial leadership is critical. Family courts must be as child-friendly as possible. Annexes cover detailed responses to the Review's recommendations, an update on developing the evidence base for family justice, impact assessments and key references and supporting documents.
