Role of the Family Justice Council

The Family Justice Council (FJC) exists to promote better and quicker outcomes for the families and children who use the family justice system. The Council promotes an inter-disciplinary approach to the needs of family justice, bringing together experts from the worlds of the law, health and social care to support and advise government and the family courts. It is chaired by the President of the Family Division, Sir Nicholas Wall.

The National FJC is supported by a network of 39 Local Family Justice Councils across England and Wales.
