Lucy Reed KC joins Presenter, Dr Joelle Grogan, BBC correspondent Sanchia Berg and Samantha Woodham at 4PB on BBC 4’s Law Show to explain how the family courts work, what people attending them can expect, and why the reporting pilot is vital.
Following a new pilot which has been operating in 19 areas across England and Wales journalists and legal bloggers are now allowed report on Family Court cases, subject to strict rules of anonymity. Last week, it was extended to cover both private and public family cases at magistrates courts in the pilot areas.
Listen to the episode here at 3pm today or find out more information on the BBC website.
Our Children’s team will be welcoming Sanchia as a keynote speaker at our forthcoming Children’s conference on 19th November in Bristol. Lucy will also be speaking at this event, on transparency in the family court. To book your place, please visit this page.
Lucy is a member of our Family Law team, and Chair of The Transparency Project.
