Remote justice – family court hearings during the pandemic
In Re A (Children) (Remote Hearing: Care And Placement Orders) [2020] EWCA Civ 583, the President of the Family Division, Sir Andrew McFarlane, set out explicit guidance to judges in England and Wa
Professional responses to ‘parental alienation’
Parental alienation was historically a term rejected by courts in England and Wales, but lawyers and social workers have noted an increase in the incidence of its use, possibly driven by campaign groups and media narratives. The two statutory services that provide independent social work advice to courts in England and Wales, respectively, on children’s best interests in parenting disputes, have taken different approaches to developing practice g…

Rights and Relationships of Children who are Adopted from Care
The rights of children who are adopted in England and Wales, their birth parents, siblings and extended family, and their adoptive parents are considered in this article. This includes the rights of parents and children regarding consent to adoption; their rights to post-adoption contact; children’s rights to develop an understanding of their identity as an adopted person; and adopters’ rights to support in helping their children – in the framewo…
The support needs and experiences of newly formed adoptive families
This article reports on findings from the Wales Adoption Study which used a sequential, mixed-method design to explore the early support needs and experiences of newly formed adoptive families. Ninety-six adoptive parents completed a questionnaire four months post-placement and a sub-sample of 40 parents was interviewed in-depth five months thereafter. The main support needs of the families fell within five key domains: promoting children's healt…
The legal and administrative processes in adoption
The early stages of adoptive placements are important in achieving successful long-term outcomes for adopted children and their families. This paper reports on findings from the Wales Adoption Study, in which adoptive parents shared their views and experiences of the legal and administrative processes in obtaining an adoption order. Parents described a range of difficulties that added to anxieties and delays. These arose mainly through poor commu…
The best interests of children and the mutual trust principle that goes both ways
The issue before the Supreme Court in Re N (Children) [2016] UKSC 15 was the proper approach to children’s best interests under article 15 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 2201/2003 (Brussels II revi
Factors affecting adoption in Wales
Where nothing else will do’
The judicial approach to making an adoption order where birth parents do not give their consent suddenly changed after a UK Supreme Court judgement in mid-2013, which examined the position in the light of the Human Rights Act 1998 – Re B [2013] UKSC 33. This article argues that this case did not set a higher threshold for such an order to be made but confirmed existing domestic and European human rights law. However, the unintended consequences o…
Re B (A Child) (Care order) (2013) UKSC 33
This commentary considers the problems posed for the court in making a finding of significant harm in care proceedings where the risk of harm to the child is solely the likelihood of future emotional abuse. A second notable feature of the judgment is the Supreme Court's decision about the proportionality of making an adoption order against the wishes of the birth parents. The implications for future care proceedings are explored

Identity crisis in the family courts? Different approaches in England and Wales and Australia
The question of whether family courts are primarily a legal or a social welfare institution has persisted in the history of the court welfare service in England and Wales. The role originated in the probation service and is now undertaken by Cafcass (Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service). Although this social work contribution to settling parental disputes has been welcomed by the courts, there has been a continuous tension betw…
