Reporting in the Family Courts - Where Are We Now?

Introduction

A new era of reporting from family courts in England and Wales began as a pilot scheme on 30 January 2023. Under the scheme, journalists and others are now able report much more freely about what goes on inside family courtrooms at certain courts. The easing of restrictions comes with strict requirements.
