Course description

Practitioners who deal with the family court need to stay up to date with the more complex and sensitive areas of family law.

It will cover the treatment of gender diverse children, including the rights and responsibilities of their parents towards them; Gillick competence in the context of puberty blockers and issues faced by trans parents in private law proceedings and birth registration.
