The Family Court and Domestic abuse: achieving cultural change (LINK)
Having reviewed the report, there are some positive features which we recognise, with reservations, such as the need for greater monitoring, data collection and analysis of domestic abuse within the court system. However, this is far outweighed by the negatives.
By the report’s own admission, the evidence on which many of the recommendations are based is self-selecting and potentially biased, it views genuine concerns of alienating behaviours as no more than a mechanism to cover abuse and there is no recognition of the harm done to children from such behaviours and contact denial.
There are many others, and we are drafting a fuller response to follow.
