Family Justice Council
The primary role of the Family Justice Council (FJC) is to promote an inter-disciplinary approach to family justice and to monitor the system. The Council, a non-statutory, advisory body, monitors how effectively the system, both as a whole and through its component parts, delivers the service the Government and the public need. It advises on reforms necessary for continuous improvement.
