Family report writing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Judges are constantly commenting on the role and quality of reports.
If you’re not up to date with those decisions, you risk:
-
Missing key expectations from the Court
-
Repeating mistakes other experts have been criticised for
-
Walking into cross-examination underprepared
The FRWN Case Law Digest distils the most important judgments into clear, practical notes for busy clinicians.
