@Modernist1972@proudmanslaw@DrProudman Dr. Proudman to you. She is regularly in the media acting tirelessly to affect reform of a system that is harming women and children.
In my family court experience:
Evidence wasn’t properly considered.
Cafcass didn’t reflect anything I raised.
I watched lies go unchallenged.
I watched process be ignored.
Meanwhile, being emotional, because I was genuinely scared for my children, was used to question whether I was ‘safe’.
It was expected I stay calm, quiet, and supportive of contact, regardless of the abuse I have lived.
In family court, being a victim was used against me.
Sir Andrew McFarlane had 8 years to clean up the courts.
8 years to stop the harms and the homicides linked to the process. 8 years to stop handing children to predators.
Did he? NO.
His entire presidency has been a stain on justice. Good riddance.
Family courts ‘not good enough’ for women and children, minister, Baroness Levitt says.
‘Problem-solving’, child-focused courts to replace adversarial hearings, with earlier intervention to cut delays.
Domestic abuse must be at fore front of policy.

I'm working on something HUGE!
My book is coming soon. The System Is The Weapon - How Abusive Fathers Exploit Family Courts Against Mothers and Children.
Books can hopefully change the world. 💫
I'll share more details with you all soon!
@MyCafcass@MoJGovUK Way overdue. My children were failed by court and Cafcass more than once after I escaped domestic abuse, they were forced contact and then had to endure more abuse towards them and their stepmum. They’re now old enough to stop contact and in therapy with PTSD so change is needed

When the JCIO and the BSB have thresholds so high for complaints to be taken seriously, it’s obvious that they are not there to uphold standards. They exist to protect reputations.
A robust complaints process would not only improve accountability but would encourage higher standards, greater care and better conduct in the first place.
Surely this isn’t too much to ask of those who make decisions everyday that can alter the course of people’s lives.
REAL accountability is essential not some tick-box exercise put in place to keep ‘us’ in our place!
(4/4) The Government has removed the presumption of parental involvement entirely—vindicating Dr Proudman’s stance that child safety must trump parental entitlement.
The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 is clear. Domestic abuse is harmful. Children witnessing or experiencing domestic abuse are victims under British law too.
It's time they were treated as such and not put in harms way by order of the state.
Dr Charlotte Proudman sets out why a Family Court Justice Bill is needed and why the current legal framework, rooted in the Children Act 1989, no longer reflects the realities faced by women and children today.
We’re proud to share this review of He Said, She Said: Truth, Trauma and the Struggle for Justice in Family Court by Charlotte Proudman, published in Family Affairs and written by Sir James Munby.
