The introduction of social distancing measures during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in family court hearings in England and Wales being conducted remotely, by video or telephone. Over a 15 months period, the Nuffield Family Justice Observatory undertook three rapid consultations to identify how remote proceedings were working, according to families and to a wide range of professionals who work in and around the family court. The consultations revealed the value of working remotely in certain circumstances, but also highlighted significant questions of fairness and justice. These insights should inform how courts operate in the future.
在新冠疫情期间引入社交 distancing 措施，导致英格兰和威尔士的家庭法庭听证会通过视频或电话远程进行。在 15 个月的时间里，纳菲尔德家庭司法观察站进行了三次快速咨询，以确定远程诉讼在家庭和在家庭法庭及其周边工作的广泛专业人员看来是如何运作的。这些咨询揭示了在某些情况下远程工作的价值，但也突出了公平和正义方面的重大问题。这些见解应为法院未来的运作提供参考。
