My son has now been accepted onto the BBR course - which after just 1 session, feels that this will be really helpful.
He said the guy running the course, was the first person who has actually listened to his situation and went over his case with him, advised where he went wrong in court and pointed out that he might have come across too passive and not emotional enough!!
My son is very quite and very young (24) and I have always felt the court/judge/cafcass just wrote him off without actually getting to know him. Which TBH is not their job, you only have a small amount of time to create the RIGHT impression which is hard without legal knowledge, a solicitor and a lot of self confidence. So he did not fight his case correctly, I think he was totally overwhelmed by it all. His EX on the over hand was emotional, crying, passionate and threw everything at the judge, which I believe helped her case of abused, scared mother fighting for her child.
Anyway... my actual question is:: has anyone completed a BBR course, what does it involve, did it help you case.
I am happy to hear the good with the bad, the rough with the smooth.
Thank you for all your help in past.

Sorry, I haven’t had any experience of this course, or can recall anyone that has attended one... but hopefully someone will come along to share what they know.
I have searched the site and cannot find anyone who has been on one either. dont know if that is good news or bad.
Good - Because they have gone on the course and its been a great success and don't need advice anymore
Bad - Course so bad, just given up asking for advice and left with no hope.
Hopefully with the 100000 of members, someone has attended and can help me out with info.
thanks

Hi There,
I am the same I haven't any experience of these course, but I would say that if your son has gained something from it already then it would be a good thing, rather than bad, it would probably open his eyes a little to how he should be in court.
Self representing, is quite common now, but as you say the judge only has a small amount of time to make a decision, if your son is quiet, they could see that wrongly as him not caring rather than it just being his nature.
Hopefully the course would help him to speak up and challenge more, I also think that completing wouldn't be seen as a bad thing in court as it would show he is addressing the concerns raised
