This week Justin Slater is delighted to be joined by Dr. Adrienne Barnett to discuss the recent consultation on the risk of harm to children and parents in private law children cases and the proposed reforms borne out of that work.
Dr Barnett is a senior lecturer in Law at Brunel University London but previously practised as a barrister for over 30 years, specialising in family law.
Justin Slater practices as a trial advocate within the full spectrum of child law, from complex private law disputes through to public law matters. His particular expertise lies within public law care and adoption proceedings where he receives instructions from public authorities and lay parties alike.
