Story here. Excerpt:
'Britain faces an investigation by the European Union into secrecy in family courts, amid growing political pressure to overhaul the system.
The Council of Europe has stepped in after allegations that gagging laws designed to protect the rights of children are allowing miscarriages of justice and children to be removed unnecessarily from their parents.
...
Opponents of the system say that judges can be too ready to side with social workers and experts who want a child removed but whose evidence is rarely made public.'
