Reporting in the Family Courts - An Update on the Pilot Scheme

Introduction

A new era of reporting from family courts in England and Wales began on 30 January 2023 as a pilot scheme.

Under the scheme, journalists may report much more freely what goes on inside family courtrooms at certain courts. But the easing of restrictions comes with strict requirements.

This virtual classroom seminar will review the new pilot scheme and the changes it will bring about.
