Are you concerned about promoting transparency whilst protecting the privacy of vulnerable clients?
With a foreword by Sir Andrew McFarlane, the incoming President of the Family Division, and an author team from The Transparency Project, Transparency in the Family Courts: Publicity and Privacy in Practice clarifies what transparency means in practice for professionals and families involved in the family courts, and provides guidance on privacy in family law cases and their reporting in the media.
This new title provides full coverage of the implications of the 2014 Guidance on publication of judgments and looks at:
> An overview of the history of transparency
> Compliance with:
>> Section 12 of the Administration of Justice Act 1960
>> Section 97 of the Children Act 1989
>> ECHR Articles 8 and 10
>> Rules and Practice Directions covering all family proceedings
> Publishing and reporting on court judgments; reporting restrictions orders
> The internet and social media
> How to advise parties involved
> Guidance on enabling children and families and practitioners to make informed decisions
> Transparency in other courts and tribunals
Appendices include key legislation and case studies and the topic will be kept up-to-date on the Bloomsbury Family Law online service.
This new title is essential reading for family law practitioners in private practice, local authorities and other public bodies, as well as media lawyers, journalists and social workers.

compelling and fascinating…an absolutely essential read for a family practitioner… I was left…comforted that as things change apace in the Family Court I was properly informed with this book. I highly recommend it.
Rebekah Wilson, Garden Court Chambers, ALC E-Newsletter
It is written for practitioners to tell them clearly where to find the right rules and what they actually say. I was particularly impressed by the helpful section about monitoring social media and how to go about getting things removed.
Whether lawyer or social worker, we all need to understand the changes which are happening within the environment in which we practice. We would all be better practitioners for carefully reading this book.
Rodney Noon, Solicitor-Advocate, Seen and Heard Volume 29 / Issue 1 / 2019
This looks very interesting. Yes I agree that there's a gap in the market for such a work. It will be a challenge to keep it up-to-date, particularly if it is going to cover social media usage. I agree that a book setting out what information can and cannot be shared will be of real help. For example, my local authority works closely with the police and I think there is a real 'grey area' about the sharing of information
Review of Proposal, Senior Lawyer, Local Authority
I would expect this to be a popular title. It's difficult to comment on the content as (as they say in their proposal) this issue is very much in limbo at the moment, with publication of judgments under consultation and some of the research (I think) not yet completed. Assuming that new rules and guidance are indeed published this year – they have been delayed a number of times – then a book published shortly afterwards would sell well, I think
Review of Proposal, Family Law Barrister
The theme is highly relevant. It is of interest, I would predict, to many family lawyers. Certainly, I would be interested in it and would consider buying it. From the list of competitor books provided, there appears very much to be a gap in the market that needs filling
Review of Proposal, Family Law Barrister
I was interested by this proposal. There is definitely a market for the book. There will be hundreds of relevant new cases each year. The book will need constant refreshing - say once every two years
