Welcome
This site offers a space to look at young people's experiences when parents part and what helps. The youth charity, Young Voice carried out research with children and young people, consulted 36 services and made a film to use with parents.
About the site
If you are a parent or child, there are helpful pages for you. Please add your advice or ideas. If you are a practitioner or professional we invite you to join the network and share good practice and new research with a child centred focus.
About Young Voice
Young Voice is the national charity which makes young people's views count. We consult young people and deliver their views and worries through training, books, films, research reports and the web. www.young-voice.org
In our new research children and young people say:
- Listening is not enough
- Children rate their parents' communication skills as vitally important
