Family Courts
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what steps he is taking to increase public confidence in the operation of family courts.
- Answer
-
The Government are making good progress. In April, we changed court rules so that accredited media have the right to attend most family proceedings. We are also developing information pilots which will place anonymised judgments online, and we will be bringing forward legislation in the next session to revise reporting restrictions in the family courts to allow for greater reporting of family proceedings.
