Putting your children first: a guide for separating parents

This booklet gives advice and information to separating parents.

This leaflet explains the role of the Children and Family Reporter in helping families make arrangements for their children.

Grandparents can often be the forgotten victims of the breakdown of their children’s marriage or long-term relationship. 

Often they lose contact with children involved as the estranged partner moves to a new area or strained relationships with ex-partners make contact difficult. This denies both the grandparent the joy of watching the children grow up and means children miss out on the valuable nurturing that older generations can bring to their development.

This booklet provides advice and information for parents on how to arrange positive contact between parents and children.
