## Description

Through the work of the Early Intervention Foundation there is strong evidence that where conflict between parents - whether together or separated - is frequent, intense and poorly resolved it can harm children's outcomes\. Since 2019 Sheffield City Council has been involved in the Department for Work and Pensions \(DWP\) Reducing Parental Conflict Programme \(RPC\)\. The first round of funding developed a scoping exercise to understand the multi-agency needs around working with parents in conflict and training over 300 staff in recognising parental conflict and providing support to families\. In addition to this we have worked in partnership with Empowering Parents Empowering Communities to develop and deliver the Being a Parent Together Programme to 57 parents and Triple P to deliver Family Transitions to 31 parents\. Sheffield City Council has been awarded £31,688 and we are seeking relationship specialists to support our progression within this area of work and build on our current achievements\. Those who have primarily engaged in the programme have been Intervention Workers or Social Workers who work directly with families\.
