Children and Public Family Law


There are a number of closely related issues which John Hemming has been researching and campaigning on.


Brave Parents' Weeklong Protest. From 12th – 16th March 2007 two brave parents protested about their treatment by Social Services calling for reform of the adoption system in the UK.

John Hemming has made a number of Key Speeches in the House of Commons about these issues, and the issues have been covered in a wide range of newspapers and journals.

John’s weblog – www.johnhemming.blogspot.com – gives up to date information and analysis on these issues.

We have located many important statistics which demonstrate statistically that the UK's "Child Protection" systems don't actually protect children from dying as a result of child abuse.

We used to be better than the Old EU (pre 2004) average, but are now worse. We are also in the process of analysisng the 2005 figures. When these are complete we will publish them here.
