The President of the Family Division’s Transparency Review Panel put out a call for evidence in the early months of the year - before Covid-19 darkened our doors - inviting any person or agency who wished to submit evidence, advice or other material for consideration within the Transparency Review.

The Transparency Review is a review of the current arrangements which regulate access by journalists and the public to, and the reporting of, information concerning proceedings in the Family Court. On 11th May the several-times-extended deadline for that call for evidence fell due. 

We think people should have an opportunity to see our response, and we hope it will stimulate a productive and open debate. We need far more transparency in the family justice system. People are losing confidence and we risk a complete collapse!
