On 5 April we held our panel discussion asking this question. It was a really constructive debate and we would like to thank all those who took part, both the panel and audience. At the event we launched our Media Guide for journalists, which you can read or download here. Our thanks go to the Family Law Bar Association for sponsoring this event.
You can watch the video of the event here.
