The Press and Family Courts in Scotland

The press is allowed to report from family courts in England and Wales. How does this compare to Scotland? While the media have, under specific conditions, a presumptive right to report from English and Welsh family courts, this is not the case in Scotland. In particular, as Beverley Johnson, Head of Family Law, points out, child welfare hearings are held in private.
