Inside the Family Court

on BBC Radio 4 FM

2/2. Wells Street in central London, home to the country's only dedicated family court, has lifted its blanket ban on reporting for the first time. Jenny Cuffe meets district judge Nicholas Crichton and his team, who, in the course of a day, may be asked to adjudicate between estranged parents fighting over contact with their children, order that a baby be taken into care, or decide that a child be put up for adoption. She also finds out how decisions are really made in these complex cases. Producer Smita Patel
