Child Maintenance Options has been working closely with a variety of parent support organisations, including the Centre for Separated Families. They have supplied the following pages, showing some of the tools and services that they have to offer.
Who are the Centre for Separated Families?
The Centre for Separated Families is a national charity. We work with everyone affected by family separation in order to bring about better outcomes for children.
Our services are available to parents who are sharing care, those who are caring for their children alone, those who are not able to spend time with their children, grandparents, carers or anyone else with concerns about family separation.
We support parents to manage the ending of their adult relationship in ways that reduce the negative impacts on their children. We do this by:
- providing information and advice to parents so that they can make choices that are in the best interests of their children, and;
- giving parents the tools to build good post separation parenting relationships, based around their children's changing needs.
Through our child focussed work, we:
- aim to deliver better outcomes for children
- recognise how important family ties are to children
- understand and respond to the different experiences of mums and dads
- work to help families to make choices that meet their individual experiences
- offer parents the tools they need to manage transitions for themselves
So what support can the Centre for Separated Families provide?
