Improving Justice in Child Contact (IJCC) is a partnership research project across five European countries, running from November 2018-January 2021. The project’s goal is participation of children and young people in decisions around child contact for families affected by domestic violence. This project is funded by the European Union’s Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme (2014-2020).
