We hope that the information and resources contained within this site help you better understand and participate in the work of the Family Court in Greater Manchester and keep you up to date with developments in this important area of law and practice.

The events that we organise are open to all those involved in the family justice system.

The Nicholas Suite

The process in applying and giving evidence in court can cause considerable trauma to Applicants of domestic abuse. A court appearance may bring them into direct contact with the Respondent, depending on the physical layout of the court buildings
The measures available include giving evidence from behind a screen, or by live link (not necessarily from within the courthouse).
Manchester Family Court has now made available to vulnerable persons (Domestic Abuse) the use of The Nicholas Room.  A room separate from the consultation rooms.  They can wait in this room away from the public area which bring less chance of meeting the alleged abuser prior to the court hearing.

Please contact Yvonne.James@justice.gov.uk  to book this room
