‘In January 2024 the President of the Family Division issued guidance on public law children cases with an international element. This refreshes and replaces the 2014 President’s guidance on the same topic. The guidance explains how to go about obtaining information (or other requests for co-operation) from other jurisdictions. The International Child Abduction and Contact Unit (ICACU) is the conduit for such requests where the request arises out of proceedings brought by an English local authority and the other country is a party to the 1996 Hague Convention.’
