75% of 'child abductions' involve mothers. Most are taking their child back to their country of origin and have experienced Domestic Abuse (DA).
Make divorces where a child is abused automatically eligible for legal aid
Someone who can prove they have suffered domestic abuse is able to access legal aid for divorce, but if the abuse was suffered by a child within the family, even if there are convictions, they have no automatic access to legal aid for divorce. We believe this needs to change!

We call on the Government to update child protection and family law by making child abandonment by a parent a criminal offence.
Ban unsupervised child contact during criminal investigations
Make it mandatory for all unsupervised child contact to be paused while an investigation into allegations of abuse, violence or coercive control by a parent is ongoing. If the police or CPS decide to take no further action, a Family Court Finding of Fact Hearing should automatically follow.
