I have had grandparents leaving me messages upset by what they are hearing.
I have read the report and actually can't see that it is significantly different from the first draft, no surprises.
Once again the media, have used highly emotive headlines which are not helpful.
The need for grandparents to apply twice to the court remains, I personally don't think it makes a great deal of difference, the need to apply for 'leave' was removed in Scotland and there has been very little change in applicants.
I have always said that that we are talking of a cultural change, which has to start with education. The importance of both parents and the wider family, this will take time.
In one daily newspaper I have just read there is a quote , saying that not all grandparents are good grandparents, I will argue, equally not all parents are good parents, it is a non argument.
here is the link to full report.
Please let me have your comments.
Jane.
