Incredible news! We strongly welcome plans to repeal the presumption of parental involvement, which will protect children from abuse & save lives.

This is a long overdue change to how our family courts operate.

Hugely grateful to Claire Throssell for her tireless campaigning @womensaid.bsky.social
Photo of Claire Throssell with text that says: After a decade-long campaign, the UK government has repealed the legal presumption of parental contct! What does that mean? Arrow to next slide What is the "presumption"? til now, family courts were legally guided to presume that it's in the best interest of a child to have access to both parents, even if one of those parents is a known perpetrator of abuse. Today the government has removed this harmful presumption. Presumption costs lives. 19 children have been killed by a parent in the last decade as a result of unsafe child contact arrangenents. All preventable. For years, child victims of domestic abuse have been silenced and failed by the systems meant to protect them. Women's Aid say: We're calling for a whole-system approach to centring children's voices in the courts and beyond. We want to see: children put first and the Harm Panel recommendations implemented in full. Regular and mandatory training for family court judges and agencies, developed with specialist domestic abuse services. A fixed system with real communication, coordination and accountability.
