Anyone involved in, or embarking on, a career within the family justice system knows that it is a complex alliance between several diverse professions – all with different roles to play and procedures to follow. It is therefore vital that those working within family justice understand how each profession thinks and operates. This Handbook, fully updated to take account of all recent developments including the introduction of the Public Law Outline, cuts through the mystery surrounding family justice to explain how it is organised, what the responsibilities of the respective professionals are and how they interact. Though not a legal text book, it also sets out the important principles of law that underpin the system to provide an accessible guide to newcomers as well as to established professionals who need information about the function of other disciplines.
