6e23dd6f-41df-4c2f-b6be-2b751d8b7622-686604In 2020, a Ministry of Justice expert panel conducted a review of how family courts deal with allegations of domestic abuse and other serious harm in private law children's cases. This report identified a series of fundamental barriers to the courts' ability to protect victims and survivors of abuse effectively from future harm. One recommendation from this report was for the Domestic Abuse Commissioners (DAC) Office to establish a national Monitoring Mechanism to maintain oversight of and report regularly on the Family Courts' performance in protecting children and adult victims and survivors from domestic abuse and other risks of harm in private law children's proceedings. The DAC Office is seeking to contract an external research supplier(s) to deliver the pilot phase of a national Family Court Monitoring Mechanism. The pilot research will consist of:(i) a scoping exercise to assess what data can be collected on domestic abuse in private family law children's proceedings and (ii) an intensive court study across three courts areas. This mechanism will be crucial in improving the experiences of victims and survivors and their children going through private family law proceedings, with a view to creating a culture in the Family Court where victims feel safe and heard. By leading this work, the supplier will help to bring much needed reforms to the family justice system and improve transparency in the Family Court.

Summary of the requirement - The contract will be for a single research supplier or a team of research suppliers. - The research and the contract length is one year. - The budget for the lead researcher(s) is £75,000 including VAT. - The contract is being offered under Crown Commercial Service RM6126 Research & Insights Dynamic Purchasing Systems (DPS), and the terms associated with that DPS will apply
