Family Justice Review update: Contact and other issues for parents following separation

In March 2010 the then Labour Government appointed a board, led by David Norgrove, to carry out a review of the family justice system. The Coalition Government that took office shortly afterwards supported the review. The board’s final report was published in November 2011, and the Government response followed in February 2012.

This note provides a brief overview of the Review’s proposals relating to child contact issues and Government’s response to them, as well as the subsequent steps being taken.
