Reducing conflict below the threshold of domestic abuse...
Parents and carers play a critical role in giving children the experiences and skills they need to succeed. However, studies have found that children who are exposed to frequent, intense, and poorly resolved conflict can be negatively affected in the short and longer term. It can impact on children’s mental health, their early emotional and social development, their educational attainment, and employability - limiting their chances to lead fulfilling, happy lives.
The 'Leicester City | Reducing Conflict' programme - funded by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and delivered on behalf of Leicester City Council - has been created to support professionals that work with Leicester City children and / or families.
Through a multi-layered approach to professional development, every professional can benefit from one or more of our sessions that aim to increase knowledge, skills and confidence in: identifying families experiencing conflict, delivering interventions, providing other support to reduce conflict, and / or promoting the funded services that can be referred to.
