Public inquiry into child deaths following family court cases

Background

We think we need an inquiry into the deaths of children following family court cases.

Additional details

Women’s Aid have long had a campaign highlighting the cases of children who have died following abuse - most recently called “Nineteen More Child Homicides”. The NAO’s 2025 report discusses the ministerial-led Family Justice Board which “has not articulated a… vision for the future of family justice”.
