This report provides a selection of interim findings based on in-depth interviews with 35 children and young people. The study is funded by the Children’s Commissioner for England and aims to provide information from children and young people to assist policy makers and practitioners when considering their needs and rights in complex questions about media access to family courts, and issues of transparency in the family justice system. The research addresses both recent changes to the Rules (April 2009) permitting media into family hearings, and further issues raised by aspects of Part 2 of the Children, Schools and Families Bill – family courts, regarding sensitive information and information pertaining to the identity of children and families. At this interim stage, the findings indicate some serious problems are likely to arise for children, clinicians and thus family courts, with significant implications for children’s safety and well-being.
