About One Plus One |
One
Plus One along with Relate and the Tavistock Centre for Couple
Relationships held joint fringe meetings at all the party conferences
this month. Penny Mansfield and the CEOs of Relate and TCCR also met with
ministers and shadow ministers. Together the organisations made three
key policy recommendations:
1. The 'family proofing'
of all policy to ensure that no department undermines strong and health
couple relationships.
2. Members of the children and family workforce to be trained in talking
about adult relationships, recognising the signs of distress, and referring
on to expert services where appropriate.
3. Access to evidence based relationship support to strengthen healthy
relationships, and alleviate the effects of family breakdown where it
occurs, regardless of ability to pay.
Penny's leading comment Better partners, better parents, in the journal Sexual and Relationship Therapy is now available to access for FREE for one month until the end of October. To access the article, please visit: http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/title~content=g723610767~db=all
