The independent panel that I spoke of earlier also identified that there is considerable variation in how lawyers for a child obtain and represent the child's view, and there is no legislative requirement for lawyers to understand a child's cultural background. In responding to these issues, the bill will amend the Care of Children Act to require that on appointing a lawyer for a child, a lawyer's personality, their cultural background, training, and experience must be considered, and to require that a lawyer appointed to represent a child must explain the nature of the proceedings to the child in a manner that the child is most likely to understand, and support the child's ability to express informed views. These amendments are intended to ensure that children feel supported and informed as they move through the Family Court process.
