It is advocating for a Family Law Service Model
Children’s rights should guide family law reform, according to One Family.
It has hosted a webinar on building a family law system for children, at which experts from Ireland, Northern Ireland and the UK contributed.
The organisation is advocating for a Family Law Service Model to be developed alongside the new legislation to provide assessments, safety and family supports to families before and during court.
