Family consultants and family counsellors
Article details:

In children’s cases the court may appoint a ‘family consultant’. Family consultants are child and family specialists whose role is to advise people involved in family law cases.The court can ask for advice from family consultants and order you to see one.

The court may ask the family consultant to prepare a family report for the court case. Anything said to a family consultant is not confidential and can be admitted (used) in court as evidence. The family consultant is sworn in as a witness during the court hearing.

Counsellors or mediators who work outside of the court are called ‘family counsellors’. Anything said to a family counsellor is confidential, although there are some exceptions to this.For example, if the information given is about a child at risk of harm. Ask the family counsellor and family consultant to explain confidentiality to you.

If you are likely to be involved in a court proceedings or in a legal dispute, you should get advice from a family law lawyer.
