Children's Views and Evidence (Bloomsbury Family Law)
by David BurrowsCan you hear the child's voice?The Court of Appeal have commented that the family courts are 'still feeling their way forward in order to determine how best to 'hear the voice of a child'.In this new title David Burrows looks at the jurisprudence surrounding this remark, relates it to European and UN Convention rights and looks at the most recent children case law.It concentrates on:Children in court proceedings, particularly in family proceedingsContrasting the way courts hear children's views with the way their evidence is heardAny rights to which a child is entitled (common law; European Convention 1950; UN Conventions; and EU Directives), such as to confidentiality and to take part (or be heard) in proceedings. The meaning and effect of a child's 'understanding' in court proceedings, and the way that term varies according to a child's age and the issue before the court.Legislation and case law covered and analysed includes:Children Act 1989 and applicable Family Procedure Rules 2010Human Rights Act 1998 and European Convention 1950Civil Procedure Rules 1998LASPO Act 2012Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999Re D (A Child) (International Recognition) – child's right to be heardRe W (A Child)– rules for child representation in hearingsP v A Local Authority (Fam) – legal aid and statutory damagesRe W (Children) (Abuse: Oral Evidence) – child's evidenceR (D (a minor)) v Camberwell Green Youth Court – safeguards in criminal law for childrenProtocol and Good Practice Model Disclosure of information in cases of alleged child abuse and linked criminal and care directions hearings – October 2013Achieving Best Evidence: Guidance on interviewing children March 2011
Privilege, Privacy and Confidentiality in Family Proceedings
by David BurrowsHow far does a client's or a child's confidentiality extend on family breakdown?Understand the fundamental importance of legal privilege, privacy and confidentiality in family breakdown and in family court proceedings.Looking at the duties of confidentiality of all practitioners involved in family proceedings, this title puts privilege, privacy and confidentiality in its common law context. It considers and contrasts that family proceedings are almost always heard 'in private'; and explains how this rule sits with common law principles. It singles out the particular issues in care proceedings where there are parallel criminal proceedings and explains the differences in law and on statutory guidance between the duties of confidentiality between lawyers, doctors and social workers.This new title helps you tackle questions such as: Is a child entitled to confidentiality; or is it correct, as Working Together guidance says, that the mature child's confidences should be 'shared'? When can privilege be overridden; and when does it not apply? Does without prejudice immunity cover a mediator? When are closed materials procedures appropriate in children proceedings?

Care of the Child Facing Death (Routledge Library Editions: Health, Disease and Society #9)
by Dr Lindy BurtonOriginally published in 1974, and written by paediatricians, social workers, nurses and a parent who cared for her dying child, this book is concerned with pinpointing the problems which exist for parents and those involved in the care of sick children, both in terms of accepting the facts of a child’s illness, and in loving supporting and giving them maximum enjoyment within the limits of their condition. The fears and anxieties of such children are examined – separation from parents, fear of pain, an increasing sense of difference and in some cases a very real appreciation of their situation. All these limit the child’s happiness, and ways of counteracting them are suggested. Similarly the distress of parents and of medical advisers is discussed.
