PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Child Arrangements Orders: Grandparents (16 July 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when his Department plans to issue a public consultation on the legal rights of grandparents to access to their grandchildren after estrangement between grandparents and parents.

Asked by:
Darren Jones (Labour)

The Government is keen to take steps wherever possible to reduce conflict within families when relationships come to an end.

I am considering what measures Government could take to help grandchildren maintain contact with grandparents following parental separation and will bring forward proposals once I have explored the issues more fully.
