answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2018 answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice does not hold the requested data. In November last year new court rules were introduced requiring the court to consider whether those involved in family proceedings are vulnerable and, if so, whether they need assistance, such as video link, to participate or give evidence. In support of these rules, family court staff are receiving new training on supporting vulnerable people who need additional assistance at court.
