A number of reforms will be included in the upcoming Domestic Abuse Bill.

Under the plans, victims will be able to use separate courtroom entrances, waiting rooms and protective screens to shield them from their alleged abuser.

It comes after an expert-led review of the family courts' handling domestic abuse, following a BBC investigation.

Emma Swan, from Sleaford, who escaped her abusive husband, says she's not sure whether the changes will work.

She says: "It's one thing having it down on a piece of paper, and it's another thing the court actually putting it in place.

"I can imagine there are going to be courts around the country which are going to say they simply don't have the room or don't have the staff to be able to implement any of this."

Justice minister Alex Chalk has said the family courts see some of the most vulnerable in society and the government has a duty "to ensure they are protected and not put in danger".
