  Family law 06 December 2004  
Should children be involved in court proceedings?

The Scottish Law Society has published fresh guidelines aimed at improving children’s legal representation in cases like contact disputes between parents. How can the rights of the child to participate be balanced with their right to be protected?

Jenni talks to the woman who initiated the guidelines, Morag Driscoll, The Convenor of The Law Society of Scotland’s Family Law Committee and Mary John, a Consultant Clinical Child Psychologist who works with children involved in family law disputes.
