	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/09/2019 answer text <p>Should the United Kingdom leave the European Union without a deal, the European Enforcement Order (EEO) Regulation will no longer apply: they will be subject to the domestic rules of the country in which they are to be enforced. There are, however, transitional provisions for certain cases ongoing at Brexit that ensure EEOs from EU member states can be enforced in the UK (see SI 2018/1311). Whether EEOs originating in the UK before Brexit will be enforced in an EU member state will be subject to the rules of that member state.</p><p> </p><p>With respect to rights of audience of solicitors registered in England and Wales, these will be subject to the domestic regulations of each EU member state and the individual rules of EU courts and institutions.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 30/09/2019 16:47:03 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/10/2019 answer text <p>No referrals from Independent Reviewing Officers (IROs) to Cafcass on behalf of children in care have resulted in legal proceedings in the last 10 years.</p><p> </p><p>20 referrals were made to Cafcass by IROs during the period in question. Cafcass responds to every referral and appoints a Cafcass officer (often the previous guardian) to provide an independent assessment of the child’s circumstances. Cafcass seeks in-house legal advice for each referral which will recommend whether legal action should be commenced in order to protect the child’s interests.</p><p> </p><p>In all cases, Cafcass enters into negotiation with the local authority to try to resolve any dispute by negotiation or mediation to achieve the best outcome for the child and most referrals are resolved by agreement. Cafcass takes every step possible to ensure a child's human rights are effectively protected and would not hesitate to take court action when there is no other effective way to achieve a positive outcome for the child.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 03/10/2019 14:38:27 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton
