Times launches campaign on Family Justice
On Monday the Times will launch a campaign on Family Justice at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/familyjustice

They say:
I wanted to let you know that in Monday's Times, Camilla Cavendish will be starting a major campaign under the banner of Family Justice.

The Times is calling for family courts to be more open, and for childcare professionals to be accountable for their decisions.

The conclusion of her first article is: "To sever a child from its family without due cause is licensed state oppression of the worst kind. It is, in fact, child abuse."

We're supporting the campaign online
a) Running a survey to find people who have been involved with family courts and looking for clusters of concern.
b) Encouraging readers to write letters to their MPs using an online form.
c) Collecting useful links for parents and grandparents

I'd be grateful if you could link to the campaign homepage, and encourage your readers / members to get involved:

The Daily Telegraph ran something similar through Ben Leapman. Not sure that campaign ever finished.

It means the editor of The Times has agreed that it is a worthy subject to pursue.

I suspect that Camilla is just about to have another one of her destructive essays published (Kevin Brennan and Mark Potter will be so pleased.) I've sent her some material in the past and I think others on the forum have been doing the same. There's a bit of an informal war going on between newspaper and magazine columnists to see who can deliver the most lethal torpedo into the side of the useless hulk we call the SS Secret Court System.

What happened with The Sunday Telegraph was that Patience Wheatcroft left and hence they stopped.

It is bound to be a good thing that the Times is running this campaign, lets hope it achieves something, at the very least it will raise awareness.
