Expert Voices: One Year On: Learning from the Pathfinder Process Evaluation

Catch up on the recording of the first of two Expert Voices events looking at the lessons & learning from the Private Law Pathfinder Pilot Evaluations. In response to the Harm Panel Report recommendation to reform private law, the Pathfinder pilot aims to improve the court experience and outcomes for children and parents involved in private family law proceedings, particularly including those who have experience of domestic abuse. The model is designed to bring a more problem solving, investigative approach which enables the system to ensure the voices and experiences of children are central to the decision making. It also aims to reduce the traumatic impact private law proceedings can have on families. The pilot launched in Dorset and North Wales in February 2022 and it has since then expanded to a further six regions. This event explored the learning and recommended practice developments identified in the Private Law Pathfinder Pilot Process Evaluation (GOV.UK), published in March 2025, and considers the implementation and lessons learnt from these recommendations one year on.
