Family Courts to be Opened Up

 Family Court Hearings to Be Accountable and Open
DCA Press Release
11 July 2006
The plans will see the family court system opened to the media so
that they can report on their work to the public. This will affect a
range of cases including those where a local authority acts to take
a child into care, or where parents dispute child contact or residence.
The proposals also include new safeguards to ensure the anonymity
and privacy of individuals.
