Access to justice is a fundamental right and allows us to have a fair society. The justice and courts systems must adapt to our changing country.
The department’s responsibility includes widening access and removing barriers to the justice system so it meets the needs of the public, society and business.

After the Brexit transition period comes to an end on 31 December 2020 certain family law disputes will be affected including divorce recognition, custody, and access to children
If your child has been removed to or retained in another state without your consent, and that state is signed up to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, then you may be able to look for their return under the terms of the Convention.
The Justice Sector is committed to safeguarding children from harm.
