Seven years on from the launch of this petition, family court reform is stalling – and in some cases, progress is even being reversed.
We are still hearing from survivors that they are being disbelieved and retraumatised and that children’s safety is being put at risk.
The Government’s plans to introduce compulsory mediation before family court could make the situation worse, risking the safety of both adult and child survivors.
We are pushing to reach 100,000 signatures and deliver this petition to the Justice Secretary, sending a clear message that children’s safety must be a government priority.
