The England and Wales Family Courts' Family Division has announced the launch of a two-week rapid consultation on remote, hybrid and in-person hearings in the family justice system and the Court of Protection.

This research is the third such survey and comes 15 months after remote hearings were first put in place at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The research will once again be undertaken by the Nuffield Family Justice Observatory (NFJO), an independent organisation which is committed to improving life for children and families by putting data and evidence at the heart of family justice system.
