Guide to Child Welfare Reports
FNF Scotland on Tuesday, March 29, 2016 at 3:43PM 
The Scottish Government has published a guide for parents who are litigants in court cases in which a child welfare report is ordered (formerly called a bar report).
This is one of the changes arising from the working group that considered changes to the reporting system. The changes in court rules concerning these reports are noted in our article published when the changes were enacted in October 2015.
FNF Scotland welcomes the publication of this guide, and hopes that it will be brought to the attention of all parents when a child welfare report is ordered. Understanding how and why the report is prepared is an important part of the process.
We have published a more detailed guide to child welfare reports, which stresses, amongst other things, that you should focus on what will benefit your child when talking to the reporter, rather than complaining about the other parent.
