A groundbreaking reporting project designed to expose the inner workings of the once-secretive family justice system has hired the UK’s first full-time family court reporter.
Hannah Summers will lead the Bureau of Investigative Journalism’s (TBIJ) Family Court Files, an investigative series exploring how allegations of domestic and sexual abuse are handled by the family justice system.
The not-for-profit news organisation launched the series to coincide with a transparency pilot that has allowed journalists to report on the life-changing decisions made in courts in England and Wales since January last year.
