Dear Ministry of Justice,

Hi I would like to request any family court manuals or any standard operation procedures related to principle 'the welfare and best interests of a child' interpretation which judges implement to make their decisions in accordance to S4(2) & S5 of the Care Of children Act 2004.

Not particularly but the manual or the should state;
"what criteria constitute a child's best interests and welfare and how these criteria should be applied in cases"?

Also I would like to request under the Official Information Act, all lists of manuals and chapters used in the family court by Judges. If you have an online electronic database which i would be able to access ?

Yours faithfully,

Zane Collins
