Petition Require family court proceedings initiated by public services be held in public

We believe proceedings in the family courts that are initiated by public services should be held in public.

More details

We are concerned that the lives of families and children are being destroyed, causing irreversible damage. We believe that in too many cases bias and malpractice influences these proceedings, and that making proceedings public could help address this.
