Supporting families post-separation is becoming increasingly important in today’s society. Families endure after separation and the family law system has to be redesigned to deal with the ongoing problems of parents who remain connected through their children and continue to have conflicts, long after separation. Equally important is preventing family breakdown in the first place and moving from a position of treating it as inevitable to a position of actively supporting families through difficult times. Relationships between couples cannot be airbrushed out of the policy picture. The focus over the last ten years has been on parenting, but the new focus needs to be on how we can support stable relationships and how helping couples is an integral part of an early-years strategy. Presentation from this workshop, which took place early in the year are available on the website.
