Introducing MV’s Good Practice Guide – Innovative Solutions Improving Family Court Processes across England

In 2024-25, MV produced a quarterly guide featuring initiatives across England that aim to reduce delay and improve processes in family courts across England.

As the delivery partner for the Department for Education’s DFJ Trailblazers: Reducing Time to Family Court Pilot Programme, Mutual Ventures have been supporting five DFJ areas to develop and implement solutions aimed at reducing delay in family court.

As part of our learning programme we gathered information on initiatives taking place across England that tackle the drivers of delay in family court and improve the experience of families and children in the system.

The document features both innovative ideas and important considerations to execute standard practices effectively.

We updated this guide on a quarterly basis over the course of the year before combining them and adding initiatives from Trailblazers themselves. This version can be downloaded below.

Thank you to the initiatives featured in the guide for sharing additional information about their activities.

We hope the guide provides valuable insights for professionals dedicated to improving the care proceedings experience for all parties involved.

If you have any questions about any of the initiatives featured in this guide, please contact us: yannick.mitchell@mutualventures.co.uk.
