Minister Jim O’Callaghan TD launched Child Friendly Family Justice Resources

Today Minister Jim O’Callaghan TD launched multimedia resources, including videos, designed to explain family justice processes to children in an age-appropriate way.

The new series is aimed at children aged 8-12 years who are experiencing family change such as separation or divorce, or whose parents are navigating the family courts system.

The child-friendly family law resources are an important part of the ongoing reform of the family justice system in Ireland. They fulfil a key action in the Family Justice Strategy 2022-2025, an ambitious programme of reform which sets out a vision for a system refocused on the needs and rights of children, who are central to many family justice matters.

The series of videos is now available at gov.ie/FamilyChanges and can also be accessed on the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration’s YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@DeptJusticeIRL
