Media appeals & Announcements:

One of our very valued members of ASP is conducting a survey as part of his under-graduate studies at University; the survey seeks to capture the experiences of non-resident parents and their opinion of how they were treated by 'the System' post-separation.

This online survey is anonymous so please take the time to have a look and lend a hand by completing. Click here to access the survey.

Many thanks !

We are currently producing a major three-part television series for Channel 4 about separating parents who cannot agree about the care of their children, focussing on the child’s perspective as much as possible and need help from parents thinking about or currently attending family court proceedings in either London or South East England with children of 7 years plus.

Karen Hamilton Productions is an award-winning independent television production company with a reputation for integrity and honesty, that specialises in intelligent, sensitively handled programmes.

This is the first time television has had the opportunity to see what happens when families come in contact with the legal system in an effort to resolve their differences. We have unprecedented access including to the work that CAFCASS does with families. We realise this is a difficult time for parents and children, but would like people to share this common experience in an effort to improve the situation for themselves and also for millions of other families now and in the future.

In order to make an informative and accurate documentary series it is important we speak to parents who are having trouble agreeing about the care of their children who are thinking about or are currently attending family court proceedings in either London or South East England with children of 7 years plus. Each person has a different story and each story we listen to helps us to become better informed about what the situation is like now and the possibilities for change.

After nearly two years of background research and preparation we are now at the stage of talking to parents and would appreciate your input. Any conversation we have would be confidential and would greatly assist with the project.

You can contact Lara Leslie or Karen Hamilton directly on 020 7503 1640 (or email karen@khpl.co.uk) and we can call you back to save your phone bill. Talking to us in no way commits you to taking part in the series. Many thanks in advance for your help.
