Evidence clearly shows that children exposed to parental conflict can suffer long-term harm. This can affect their:
-
emotional and social development
-
mental health
-
educational attainment
-
relationships
-
employability
The Reducing Parental Conflict Programme has been introduced nationally through a DWP Change programme. It is to support families experiencing parental conflict. The focus is on supporting parents and carers. This is regardless of whether they are in a relationship or separated. This includes:
-
foster carers
-
adoptive parents
-
step parents
-
same sex parents
-
single parents in conflict with another adult in the family. For example, a grandparent, separated/divorced parents
