Developing
resources on family conflict: The missing link in parenting support
reports on the development and completion of evidence-based resources
on family conflict. Funded by a Family Support Grant from the DfES, training
for nine Community Parent programmes was piloted in all regions of England.
A video resource was then developed to help community workers support parents
who are experiencing relationship conflict and to improve outcomes for their
children. Click here
for the full report. |

The
final report from our completed 2004-6 Parenting Fund project Enhancing
support for parents in conflict can be found here.
This project focused on developing further the previously piloted training
and resources for parenting educators and supporters on the effects of parental
conflict on children. Training to deliver modules within existing parenting
courses was cascaded to parenting workers; roadshows were held in all regions
of England to raise awareness of the issues; and a website was developed
to support parenting practitioners. |

The
training team at One Plus One held a one day roadshow to raise awareness
amongst commissioners, managers and practitioners in West Leeds about the
relevance of supporting families experiencing relationship difficulties
and conflict. Over 40 participants came together from education, health,
youth justice, faith, social care, legal and voluntary backgrounds. The
day included an introduction to the importance of looking at the quality
of adult relationships within the context of family functioning, and how
this related to the needs of families in West Leeds. There were also two
taster sessions for One Plus One’s training resources: Brief Encounters,
which equips practitioners with skills to engage with families and offer
input on relationship issues; and My
mum and dad argue a lot, which informs parents about the impact
of parental conflict on children. |
