Participation Works

The Ministry of Justice has launched a 'Young People's Guide', to the Family Justice Review. It accompanies the interim report and gives children and young people a unique opportunity to participate in the ongoing consultation.

Children and young people's views will be given the same consideration by the Panel as an independent advisor invites them to gives their opinions on reforming the Family Justice System.

David Norgrove, Chair of the Family Justice Review panel, said: “Children are the most important people in the family justice system and it is vital that they have a voice in shaping its future.”

Roger Morgan, Children’s Rights Director said: 'It is essential that children and young people are told about proposals that will directly affect them and that they are given a voice in the decisions which are made about their future...'

Responses must be received by midday on the 23rd June 2011 and will feed into the final report, published in the autumn.
