Reducing Parental Conflict

Welcome to the Supporting Parental Conflict Toolkit. This toolkit is designed to support professionals in navigating the complexities of parental disagreements, ensuring the well-being of children and fostering healthier family dynamics.

Why address and support parental conflict? Parental conflict, when unresolved, can have lasting negative effects on children, impacting their emotional, social, and academic development. By addressing these conflicts constructively, parents can create a more stable and supportive environment for their children.

What you'll find in this Toolkit:

• Understanding Parental Conflict: Learn about the different types of conflict and their potential impacts on children.
• Effective Communication Strategies: Discover techniques to improve communication and resolve disagreements in a healthy manner.
• Support and Resources: Access a range of support services, including counselling and mediation, to help manage and reduce conflict.
• Practical Tips and Activities: Engage in activities designed to strengthen family bonds and promote positive interactions.

Ways to support:

• If safeguarding concerns arise make a referral to Children's Social Care

Further resources will be added in early 2025.
