Parenting Orders
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether the proposed expansion of Parenting Orders will include the introduction of additional powers for courts.
Answered by Jake Richards
We want to ensure parents work effectively with Youth Justice Services to prevent offending and support the rehabilitation of children in the justice system. To this end, we are exploring options to drive forward the effective use of parenting orders as a credible, proportionate option, including considering whether additional powers should be available to the courts.
