Ms Brenda Kneafsey:

I am very fortunate to have been present when judges displayed really good practice. They recognise the vulnerability of some of the parents we work with and they ensure they understand what is happening in the courtroom. It can be quite daunting for a parent who has never been in a court setting previously. There is good practice, and if that can be replicated and the environment improved, that will make what is a difficult experience better for those involved.
