Review support provided to autistic parents involved in SEND tribunals
We think autistic parents are currently denied equal access to justice when representing their children in the Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Tribunal, and call on the Government to review this as autistic parents deserve equal access to justice when advocating for their children.
Review timing of child contact centre referrals at family court
Review the need for early intervention through contact centres at the point when court applications are made. We think this could help ensure children maintain relationships with both parents while legal processes are ongoing.
Urgent review of CPS decision making for domestic abuse and coercive control
We call on the Government to urgently review CPS investigations and charging decisions in domestic abuse and coercive control cases, to ensure the law is being applied correctly and all forms of abuse are taken seriously, not just extreme physical violence.
Require councils to review social housing tenancies
People are being left without support, while some social housing tenants remain in subsidised homes despite earning high incomes or no longer meeting the need criteria.
Review use of the 'Child in Need label by social workers & local authorities
We think the government should have a full, urgent review of how safeguarding applies to disabled children. We want respect and compassion for parent carers doing their best under impossible circumstances.
