The name of the judge was published following the recent Court of Appeal judgement on this issue. However, we could not have accepted a petition on this issue as these decisions are the responsibilty of the courts not the UK Government or Parliament.

Background
The failures of the family court played a large role in Sara's murder.
Protecting the name of the judge who made this decision puts more families at risk because no one knows if their children are at risk of serious negligence, having no debate and no review is not good enough.
Hundreds of thousands of children are at risk in the system, and not naming the judge at fault means they can continue to adjudicate on other cases where children are at risk of significant harm.
