At the request of HHJ Wildblood QC, Designated Family Judge for Bristol, a team of researchers at the University of the West of England is examining the operation and effect of the Pre-Proceedings Protocol that he introduced on 1st July 2013.
The research team would like to talk with stakeholders at every level in the Family Justice System from children to senior judges. The fieldwork has already started and the team plans to submit an executive summary of its preliminary findings to the President of the Family Division on 14th March 2014.
If you practise in Bristol as a public child care solicitor, the researchers would be delighted to hear from you. They will contact you to arrange a personal or telephone interview lasting approximately 30-45 minutes to discuss your experiences of the Pre-Proceedings Protocol and your insights into what will help families and children.
