Understanding the Pathfinder pilot in Children Act proceedings

When families separate, making decisions about children—where they live, how much time they spend with each parent, and how they’re supported—can be emotionally challenging. In some cases, parents turn to the Family Court for help. But for many years, the system designed to support these families has been criticised for being slow, adversarial, and at times, harmful—especially for children caught in the middle.

What to do if you suspect financial abuse by an attorney

When an attorney has been appointed by a friend or family member to manage money and financial decisions on their behalf, they have a legal obligation to act in that person's best interests. A lasting power of attorney (LPA) for property and financial affairs gives the attorney a significant amount of legal authority over the donor (the person who created the LPA) that must be managed carefully.

Amputations and patient safety

An amputation is a life-changing event. It affects every aspect of a person’s life - mentally, physically and emotionally. For those affected, the trauma is lifelong and concerns about whether a procedure was necessary can cause further distress. Recent news surrounding Neil Hopper, a former consultant vascular surgeon, has understandably raised serious questions among patients and the wider public.
