Great to hear Family Drug & Alcohol Courts (FDAC) being championed at this event today.
The evidence clearly shows that, compared to standard proceedings, FDAC results in better outcomes for families & saves local authorities money.
It's time to roll out FDAC across the UK.
A packed fringe event on making family law fit for the 21st century. Thank you to all our speakers @MissJoEdwards @Andrew_Powell1 @hannahgomersall Lord Ponsonby, Naomi Angell and to @catkinson80 for chairing and @ResFamilyLaw for sponsoring this important discussion

If you missed @ChildFamJustice webinar on the new directions for FDAC, which included presentations from our deputy director, @Vicki_CJI, & head of research, Stephen Whitehead, the slides and recording are now available to catch up on here!: ow.ly/HYVb50Sz2T8

Last week Sir Andrew McFarlane, President of the Family Division, gave evidence to the Justice Select Committee.
Great to hear him speak about FDACs being effective in supporting families with domestic abuse & issues beyond just drug & alcohol misuse.

This article by @lawsocgazette covers the parliamentary event we held to celebrate 15 years of FDAC. It highlights the widespread support for the FDAC approach and the need for its secure and long-term funding.

I just hope the funding will be made available for this - well done FDAC! "McFarlane said: ‘I do not understand why [FDAC] is not happening in every court. It is left to local courts, local authorities cobbling together money.’ lawgazette.co.uk/news/mcfarl… @FDACBham_Sol

Great to see our recommendations on diversion included in the @CommonsHomeAffs report on drugs published yesterday.
Read the full report, which also calls for a health-led drug strategy and increased harm reduction measures, here:

In order to improve children’s mental health, we also need to think about promoting well-being & preventing poor mental health from ever developing. And to do that means thinking about the family.

The Family Drug and Alcohol Court model is helping families struggling with addiction to beat their demons and stay together.
We want to see this approach used across the country.
