One
Plus One training has been mentioned in the Department for
Children, Schools and Families Children's
Plan section Supporting stability and coping with breakdown
1.26:
"It is important that services can recognise and support people through
those periods of instability. For example, health visitors through the
One Plus One programme are being trained
to learn to listen to parents, spot problems between them following the
birth of a baby, and offer specific help to the couple as well as ensuring
the healthy development of the child."
One
Plus One has also been mentioned in the Social Exclusion Task
Force's report Think
family: improving the life chances of families at risk section
3.13 on empowering practitioners:
"One Plus One trains practitioners, including those in health, education
social care and legal services, to deal with relationship conflict and
to help build strong family relationships."
Penny Mansfield, Director
of One
Plus One featured in the Times2 article Marriage:
who cares? by Carol Midgley. The article considers recent findings
in the 24th Report of the survey British Social Attitudes that only 28%
of people think married couples make better parents than unmarried couples.
Penny commented:
"The kind of people who get married may well be the kind of people
who have the beliefs and attitudes that would keep them in a marriage,
or the capabilities and skills to stay in a relationship." She went
on to add that, "It's clear that getting married makes many people
feel more secure. The act of marriage gives a public stamp to their commitment."
