The Buzz

18 Wednesday Sep 2013

Posted by Natasha in The Buzz

Some interesting news items and a case which is a Must-Read, about a mother’s appeal (which was dismissed), to prevent her child from being adopted and a clarification on the law defining the threshold criteria for adoption:

  • Re B-S (Children) – a heart breaking case, but Munby, Black and Dyson (Master of the Rolls, not the Hoover), give a robust and worthy explanation of the adoption threshold, which is not followed enough, we feel. ([2013] EWCA Civ 1146)
  • SPLIT makes headway – we posted about this project a while back and it looks like it’s moving. We’re glad. A candid film featuring children talking about divorce is always worth a watch, and worth supporting.
  • Nearly 70% of children’s homes cannot afford to provide outstanding care: the excuse – lack of funds. But they were embarrassingly rubbish places before, so what gives? Get your act together. You’re all still being paid to care for the kids, right? Hugs are extra? We’re angry now. Can you tell?

The Children and Families Bill – Amendments and More

Posted by Natasha in Family Law, Update

≈ 9 Comments

The Lords are going full steam ahead at the moment with proposed amendments being offered by individual peers, ahead of a full-scale examination of The Bill at the beginning of October, so we thought we’d share some goodies with you.

If you want to get your mitts on the Bill documents, everything you need is here. From:

  • The Bill itself
  • Explanatory Notes
  • Amendment papers (including the latest set from the House of Lords)
  • Public Bill Committee and report stage proceedings in the House of Commons
  • Research Papers
  • Selection of amendments from the Commons
  • Press Notices
  • A, frankly, brilliant tracked version of The Bill showing changes made in the House of Commons to the Bill, and;
  • Impact assessments

And, of course, you can get all you need on the latest from The Bill, by checking out this page.
