Hi, it’s Deborah and Euzi
Have your say: the government has launched a consultation into proposals for a new approach to support victims of domestic abuse and their children in accommodation-based services in England. The government would like to hear from victims and survivors, service providers, local authorities, police and crime commissioners and other public agencies, as well as other professionals who support victims and their children. The consultation closes on 2 August 2019.

Hi, it’s Deborah and Euzi
The Law Commission has announced that it is seeking views on reforms to improve surrogacy laws. The main change proposed by the Law Commission would be to allow intended parents to become legal parents at the moment the child is born, subject to the surrogate being able to object for a short period after the birth, instead of having to apply to the court after the child has been born, which means that they do not become legal parents until the court grants a parental order. At the same time, the Law Commission is seeking views on a reform to the law of surrogacy payments...
