Paedophiles To Lose Parental Rights
The law change follows a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ report.
Today, we look at how a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ report could lead to a change in the law around paedophiles' access to their own children.
Adam is joined by Sanchia Berg, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ reporter who covered the story of a mother who paid £30,000 in legal fees to remove her ex-husband's parental rights to their daughter after he was convicted for child sexual abuse.
Labour MP Harriet Harman is also in the studio to talk about how it prompted her to introduce a law change after hearing Sanchia’s report in November last year.
And Lucy Reed KC, barrister and chair of The Transparency Project, shares her view from the family courts - as well as the difficulties for journalists to cover family justice proceedings.
