Why Children Are Removed After Abuse Disclosures (And What Needs to Change)

**Content warning: this episode contains discussion of domestic and sexual abuse and child removal see below for support links***

This is the second in a two-part series, produced in partnership with the non-profit organisation Right to Equality, where we look into the shocking subject of child removal in private family proceedings in England and Wales. 

Today we dive deeper into how these cases have arisen in our family justice system and  deep dive into the impact of experts in these cases. 

I’m joined by Dr Adrienne Barnett, Reader in Law at Brunel University of London and Co-Director of Right to Equality, and; 

Natalie Page, advocate, campaigner and Director of Survivor Family Network and author of a soon to be released book “The System Is The Weapon”.
