Bob Geldof was motivated by personal experience over 10 years ago - what has changed?
UNICEF is not just law about children in warzones, children have rights to their whole family, and that includes UK Children.
Those rights require the UK to have an effective remedy when their rights to have equal parenting (unless there is very good reason) are violated.
Presently, the UK courts are under fire for not having an effective remedy, leaving fathers pursuing their role in the child's life through UK courts for 12 years in some cases.
Often ineffectively, through no fault of their own other than for not being the parent to run off with the child upon relationship breakdown.

On this page you can download useful documents to inform you about aspects on the Courts.
Guidelines for Judges meeting Children who are subject to Family Proceedings - The purpose of these Guidelines is to encourage judges to enable children to feel more involved and connected with proceedings in which important decisions are made in their lives and to give them an opportunity to satisfy themselves that the Judge has understood their wishes and feelings and to understand the nature of the Judge’s task
What the Family Courts Expect from Parents - Guidelines to consider when you appear in court, produced by the Midland Regional Family Judges and Magistrates.
Here is an excellent and informative talk on the role of the court and of lawyers in difficult contact cases given by Sarah Phillimore, a prominent Bristol barrister and prolific participant on Twitter.
Sarah gave the talk at our 2017 Conference in Bristol on 18 March.

Parenting Plans
Parenting plans aim to help separated parents work out the best possible arrangements for their children and to try and ensure that these plans are clear, consistent and reliable.
Parents can use parenting plans to guide them through this difficult process. They can also be useful as a basis for discussion during mediation.
Below are some links to our favourite plans:
- Splitting up? Put Kids First by One Plus One
- Parenting Agreement for Scotland click here
- Putting your children first (Cafcass and DCSF guide) click here
- Sorting Out Separation may also have some useful information for you.

Added this area to allow us to add components to places reached through the DevMenu, so we can have this area as our development playground, without corrupting any of the 'traditional FnF' site structure
When transferring (copying) to live, we should just be able to delete/disable the dev menu access on the main menu
