Our Work
The Peninsula Family Justice Council aims to facilitate the delivery of better and quicker outcomes for families and children who use the family justice system
The Council's role is to monitor how effectively the system both as a whole and through its component parts delivers the service the Government and the public need and to advise on reforms necessary for continuous improvement.
In particular we will;
- Promote improved interdisciplinary working across the family justice system through inclusive discussion, communication and co-ordination between all agencies, including by way of seminars and conferences as appropriate;
- Identify and disseminate best practice throughout the family justice system by facilitating a mutual exchange of information between other local family justice councils and the national Council, including information on local initiatives, and by identifying priorities for, and encouraging the conduct of, research;
- Provide guidance and direction to achieve consistency of practice throughout the family justice system and submit proposals for new practice directions where appropriate;
- Provide advice and make recommendations to the national Council on changes to legislation, practice and procedure, which will improve the workings of the family justice system.
