In partnership with

Families Need Fathers is extremely pleased to be working with our partners Fatherhood Institute, Relate and One Parent Families to launch Kids In The Middle – the national debate on the services provided for separating families and their children.

We all recognise the issues facing separated families, and their children in particular, and the pressing need to support them better.

We are also especially privileged to have Britain’s premiere agony aunt Deidre Sanders as the spokesperson for the debate, and are sure that her many years of helping families through tricky times will prove invaluable.

At the heart of our debate is our online survey for both parents and children, with the focus is on what services to separating parents and their children need.

You can participate in the debate by taking the survey here.

Over the next few months we’ll be sharing what we’ve found out, and making proposals for how the UK can give separating families and their children a better deal.

Families Need Fathers members can also participate in the debate in our online forums. Visit our chat forum and tell us which services made a difference when you separated – and which ones you wish had been available to you and your children.
