➡ We were delighted to attend the launch of this last Thursday.

✅The guidelines provide a detailed framework for the preparation of Voice of the Child Reports in private family law cases.

📍They are designed to improve the child’s experience of having their voice heard in private family law proceedings, increase confidence and understanding in the process among children, families and practitioners, and promote consistency and high standards of practice nationwide.

🫶This is welcome news for children in separated families and we welcome this positive change.

🩷 Delighted to have a member of our Parents Media Panel on IrelandAM Virgin Media Budget 2027 discussion this morning.

⚠️ Linda O'Sullivan the struggle many working lone parents experience, with spiraling costs of essentials feeling like "an avalanche" and being excluded from critical supports she needs, such as the Back To School Education Allowance.

📢 As Linda said, Government can take actions today to change this, they have the power to address inequities for one-parent families. Let's see if they do.

✅ Thank you, Linda and thank you Ireland AM for the opportunity. You can watch her back on the Virgin Media Player: www.virginmediatelevision.ie/shows/irelandam

📍Inequality is widening. Poverty is increasing. Housing is insecure for far, far too many. This has to change.
