Norgrove to chair Family Justice Board
David Norgrove has been appointed chair of the new Family Justice Board, created as a result of his recommendations when he chaired the Norgrove review.
The Ministry of Justice says the board will focus on “reducing delay across the system, helping it prepare for the introduction of the statutory six-month time limit in care cases. The board will also work to build cross agency coherence, tackle variations in local performance, and ensure more private law cases are resolved out of court, where appropriate”.
Last week, the Justice Select Committee wrote to Prime Minister David Cameron asking him not to implement a planned amendment to the Children Act 1989 on shared parenting.
