Pilot allowing journalists to report on family court proceedings sparks concerns from union
Journalists taking notes

A UNION has raised concerns about a pilot scheme allowing journalists to report on family court proceedings for the first time.

Up until now, reporters have been able to observe hearings but could only report on details allowed by the judge.
