Leanne’s latest project is the ‘Family Dispute Resolution Toolkit’ working with Janet Smithson and Teignbridge Citizens Advice to produce an app that will enable individuals to take practical and informed steps to resolve private family law disputes. Her research themes within the network mainly focus on family justice.
