Family Law Track (at the Coercive Control and Children conference): Transforming Responses to Coercive Control in Family Courts
The Safe & Together Institute recognizes that family courts are critical gatekeepers for children's safety and wellbeing in cases involving domestic abuse. Our first-time-ever, dedicated Family Law Track brings together Independent Children's Lawyers, family law practitioners, judicial officers, and family court experts to explore how a domestic abuse-informed approach can transform outcomes for children.
