Family Court Annual Report

The President of the Family Division, the Rt. Hon. Sir Andrew McFarlane, has today published the Family Court’s first annual report. Publication of the report marks ten years since the Family Court was created and is a key step in the move of the Family Court towards greater transparency.

In his introduction to the report, Sir Andrew said: “The real work of the court continues, day-in day-out, throughout England and Wales, with dedicated judges, magistrates, court staff, social workers, children’s guardians and practitioners applying themselves, case by case, to the resolution of family discord and the protection of the vulnerable. The practice of Family Law is something of a vocation and I never cease to be grateful for the unrelenting commitment of each and every person who supports the work of the Family Court.”
