Birmingham Safeguarding Children Partnership

The below information is taken from GOVUK guidance on Reducing Parental Conflict.

It can be difficult to identify parental conflict as often the focus is on a child’s behaviour and the quality of parent-child relationships.

To help start a conversation about healthy relationships when working with parents, it can be useful context to understand how to measure the impact of parental conflict.

  • Parental Relationships Spectrum
    The tool helps to differentiate between Parental conflict and Domestic Abuse but seek advice and guidance from a Manager where needed.
  • See It Differently
    When we argue with our partner or ex-partner, we can get caught up in the heat of the moment. At times like these, it’s difficult to find a way forward. We want to help you see things differently and do things differently. See 5 case studies from different ‘familiar’ family situations (Chloe’s family features separated parents)
