] DEPARTMENT FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS 220/06 31 August 2006 Children consulted on making family courts more child friendly
Young people are going to be asked their views in a new online consultation about plans to make the courts more child friendly. The DCA is seeking children's views on:
* judges speaking to children involved in their parents' separation cases or in care proceedings to ask their views, and tell them the court's decision;
* new guidelines for giving children their own legal representation in their parents' separation case;
* when they reach adulthood, giving children full information about the court's judgment in cases where decisions about them have been made.
Constitutional Affairs Minister Rt. Hon. Harriet Harman QC MP launched an online discussion forum for young people to give their views on the proposals.
