Reporting in the Family Courts - The Latest

Introduction

As of 27 January 2025, journalists and legal bloggers will be able to report on family court cases across England and Wales in what has been described as ‘a watershed moment for family justice’.

The change comes after the success of a two-year transparency pilot and means the media will be able to inform the public about the decisions being made every day by family court judges.

This webinar will outline the new arrangements and the changes they have brought about.
