Reducing Parental Conflict is a national
programme led by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) designed
to help practitioners support families experiencing conflict by
providing tools and strategies to specifically focus on the
parents’ relationship and communication skills. This enables
parents to be able to proactively care for their children,
establish a consistent, clear routine, provide a stimulating,
nurturing environment, emotional security, warmth and respect and
role model healthy relationships.
The proposed post of Reducing Parental Conflict Development Officer
is to deliver bespoke Reducing Parental Conflict (RPC) training to
partner agencies, develop partnership practice and confidence using
RPC principles, and advise partners about resources and
interventions to help families resolve parental conflict.
Extending the hours of the Stronger Relationships Manager from 0.5
to 0.7 FTE will enable strategic development, partnership working
with key services and the third sector, establish a pro-active and
engaged steering group to help drive and embed RPC, create
practical resources and bespoke training support packages
