Disabled Children’s Social Care Report September 2025 – In January 2025 SNS and the Disabled Mothers’ Rights Campaign contributed evidence to the Law Commission on disabled children and social services.

Evidence to House of Lords on The Autism Act 2009 June 2025 – We submitted jointly with the Disabled Mothers’ Rights Campaign and had meetings with autistic women whose experience we have included in our evidence. We noticed there was nothing on family courts and social services so we focused our evidence on these topics.

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill Lords Briefing 1 May 2025 – We are urging politicians to speak out against measures in this Bill aimed at greatly extending state control over children’s and families’ lives – the opposite of protecting children’s wellbeing!  It will further undermine children’s right to the love and care of their mother and our right to be together as a family, and to be supported in doing so.

Evidence to Presumption Review Panel about the presumption of contact January 2023 – Among other crucial findings of the Ministry of Justice’s Harm Report (2020), was the extremely negative impact om mothers and children of the “pro-contact” culture which has dominated family court since the “presumption of contact” was introduced into law in 2014.

Evidence to Family Justice Council: NO to “parental alienation/alienating behaviours” October 2023 – Flying in the face of substantial official international recognition of the illegitimacy of “parental alienation”, it is shocking that the FJC now wants to formalise and legitimise “alienating behaviours” by producing this Guidance. We completely reject this Guidance and urge the FJC to look again at the evidence against “parental alienation” taking into account the body of official evidence.

Evidence to the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls: Custody cases, violence against women and violence against children January 2023 – In the last 10 years a growing movement of mothers, especially single mothers, struggling to protect our children from abusive fathers has exposed a family court system which backs abusers rather than victims. Male supremacist groups of fathers who deny domestic violence have become embedded in the family court system, using allegations of “parental alienation” to continue their control over women and children. Outrageously, they have had the support of CAFCASS and the president of the family court.

Evidence to the House of Lords Select committee on The Children and Families Act 2014 January 2023 – has the Act improved the situation for vulnerable mothers.
