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
