Five years ago this week, the Ministry of Justice published the Harm Panel report, which found that the family courts were failing to protect children and called for urgent reform to ensure the safety of survivors.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Despite all the evidence, half a decade on, a lack of political and judicial will has haltered progress, with the government, statutory agencies, and family court professionals failing to implement many of the lifesaving recommendations in the Harm Panel Report.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This new report highlights how a widespread lack of professional understanding around patterns of coercive control, a constant minimisation of risk, and <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">significant over optimism that perpetrators of abuse can still be \u201cgood enough\u201d fathers, <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">led to children killed by known perpetrators of domestic abuse.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A \u2018pro-contact culture\u2019 is costing children\u2019s lives, and the government must repeal the presumption of parental involvement in urgent legislation to prevent children from paying the price for a lack of action.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Over the last 30 years, Women\u2019s Aid\u2019s research reveals that a total of 67 children have been killed by abusers in circumstance relating to contact.

Every single one of the deaths in this new report, as well as those in our previous ones, were preventable but a lack of action to reform an institution that is not fit for purpose ultimately let these children, and their families, down. Every case is one too many.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This new report exposes the life-threatening consequences of not acting on well-document risks of failing to address the pro-contact culture and must be used to finally drive long overdue change of the family courts response to child survivors.
