Paul Apreda, the indefatigable National Manager at FNF BPM Cymru, gave a well-received (if all too brief) talk at the 2016 London conference – The State’s War on Fathers (video, 19:35). I’ve had a number of emails from people who are confused about a number of consultations, and raised the issue with Paul, to whom I’m grateful for this clarification:

Hi Mike – yes, happy to conform that we’ll be contributing to BOTH consultations. I just want to be clear that there are TWO happening at the moment – both involve Stephen Cobb.

The safeguarding one is being run by the MoJ – details here https://www.gov.uk/government/news/spotlight-on-child-protection-in-family-courts and here https://www.gov.uk/government/news/family-justice-panel-update

The other one is also headed by Cobb but is under the President of the Family Division – Sir Andrew McFarlane – here https://www.judiciary.uk/publications/consultation-children-cases-in-the-family-court-interim-proposals-for-reform/

Hope that makes sense

cheers

Paul
