FNF Conference Virgin
It was my first time. Although a current member of, and long-time supporter of the National UK Charity Families Need Fathers, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I rolled up to their 2018 Annual Conference.
My first relief was that I wasn’t the only woman there. Not by far.
I was fascinated. Here I was first hand seeing clear evidence that what ‘should’ happen in court - often doesn’t happen in practice. It was impossible to ignore the fact that much of what the law provides in legal orders and decisions - are ignored. They have no teeth.. What came across loud and clear is that the current - and any potentially future - laws that protect the children's rights to see both parents, are just not properly enforced.
Keynote speaker Lord Justice McFarlane was busy making notes as he came face to face with the massive gap between what should be happening and what actually happens in the family courts. And he was listening and taking notes also about suggestions of what could be done.
What do you think?
