In a moment of pre-Christmas over-exuberance, Zoe Saunders and I decided it would be a good idea to harness the last dregs of our 2024 energy and deploy them in the preparation of a podcast episode all about the much awaited alienating behaviours guidance, which had just been published.

And then I got distracted by Christmas and forgot to post about it.

So, slightly belatedly, here is our podcast episode about the Family Justice Council’s recently published guidance on alienating behaviours (full title : Guidance on responding to a child’s unexplained reluctance, resistance or refusal to spend time with a parent and allegations of alienating behaviour). The Guidance is very interesting and I think likely to be helpful in many respects. Other views are available.
