Spoke to @thetimes about the big changes underway in fostering, and how we take on profiteering in children’s social care.
Horrifying. Children's Commissioner report - over a million children now referred to mental health services, demand far outstripping supply. Yet the Government thinks its a brilliant idea to pit parent against child in pursuit of an unevidenced and dangerous meddling with puberty. tinyurl.com/yck73ypc
The Conversion Practices Bill has immediate and serious impact on parents' article 8 rights and costs to the family justice system of increased care proceedings and need for more foster placements. This doesn't get a mention in the current impact assessments. As @Jebadoo2 has said - expect a fight.
This is an important point from Family Barrister Sarah about how the conversion bill could impact Family proceedings.
But this will inevitably have an impact on ‘significant harm’ as the gateway test for removing children into state care in family proceedings. ‘Significant harm’ is not defined in the Children Act 1989. But if a parent is charged with an offence under this proposed Act, then

At an interesting conference!
So where do these children go? They can’t go home. The state won’t provide appropriate housing for children in care. But once again it is the fault of the social workers.

Surrogacy - the basics. Changes in society often resonate first in the family courts. Important to think of wider contexts and concept of legal parents. The concept of parenthood is dynamic. Legal parenthood relates to 2 people only. Parental responsibility very different.
In the matter of X and Y (Children: Adoption Order: Setting Aside) [2026] UKSC 13: Appeal by adoptive mother against decision that the court has no power to set aside a validly made adoption order, other than by way of appeal. Appeal dismissed. supremecourt.uk/cases/judgment…

It is not of course the issue of unregulated experts that caused these cases to go badly awry - but it can’t have helped. 77 of us wrote in protest about their use in 2019 - we were ignored.
Parental Alienation: The Modern Way shar.es/agImz3 But I do wonder what would have happened if my open letter had been taken seriously in 2019. Perhaps it would have helped in this case and the others cited, to prevent them going so firmly off the rails and the impacts
I wrote about this in 2019, sent an open letter to the president signed by May others. We were ignored. No unregulated expert should be any where near a family court. lawgazette.co.uk/news/family-co…
Important Judgment in a Family Case - from the most senior judge. caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewfc/2026/38 He says it's "about the failure of the whole process... undertaken in a manner which is now to be seen as fundamentally unsound" .
Important decision by the most senior judge in the Family Court - a teenage boy is allowed to return to his mother, overturning a "draconian" decision made by lower court 6 years before. A psychologist claimed the mother had alienated the children from their father. They then had to live with him....theguardian.com/law/2026/feb/1…
How can adoption survive when most adopted children will have suffered significant harm and loss, and there are limited resources to support adoptive parents? The legal fiction is no longer sustainable. The UKSC decision in X v Y will be interesting. The death of adoption | Child Protection Resource tinyurl.com/yy6e4jfw
This writer - like so many others - shows she knows nothing of childhood. Odd considering that she has had ‘lived experience’ of this state. As do we all. To suggest that giving children ‘genuine agency’ in contested proceedings between their parents is a solution (or when deciding whether to sterilise themselves) is as cruel, stupid and pointless as demanding my dog cook me a roast dinner. But I agree that court isn’t the place for frightened or angry parents. But where else do they go, once their ‘agency’ has been overwhelmed by emotion?
