About One Plus One |
One Plus One will be using its extensive knowledge base alongside experience of training over 3,500 family support practitioners, in the development of a highly innovative Web 2.0 based service for all parents, but with a particular focus on fathers and parents with a disabled child. One Plus One’s new service is being funded by the Department for Children Schools & Families as part of its “Parent Know How” programme which is designed to deliver better outcomes for children and parents. The site is designed in such a way to enable couples to work through changes in their relationship together.
The service combines resources, self-assessment tools, weblogs and forums that can be tailored to personal circumstances and continually updated. The aim is to build a strong parent community enabling parents to help each other. Forums on the site will be supported and moderated by trained relationship experts. By making all these resources easily accessible on one website, parental relationship problems can be addressed early - when motivation is high - and help can be most effective.
Features on the new site will include “couple spaces” with interactive diaries, to encourage partners to keep in touch with each other's issues and feelings, and maintain closeness through the day-to-day challenges of parenting.
You can now watch One Plus One's intorductory DVD, Transforming Frontline Practice. You can learn about One Plus One and how your team can increase effectiveness when supporting families. Click here to watch the DVD.
