Foundations: Supporting Families is committed to reducing the
impact that conflict, separation (however this may happen) and divorce can have
on children and their families. To this end we are very much committed to
ensuring that the services that we offer meet the needs of all involved. Whilst
there is much research on the negative emotional impact both short and long
term much of this is from America, New Zealand and other countries.
In the UK the interventions from Courts differ from other
countries and therefore the support required may also differ, even if the
negative effects on children remain the same. We therefore feel that much
research is needed which will allow services to be tailored to the needs
identified. We need your help with this whether you are a child or young person
whose parents are going through a divorce, or you may be an adult who
experienced divorce as a child and who is now experiencing this as a adult, an
extended family member, an adult who experienced divorce as a child, a friend
of someone who is going through this we want as much information as possible to
assist us in developing services. Please fill out the research form online. The
research is anonymous although we would like to be able to call participants
with further questions if willing, again it will be totally anonymous. Please
note that children/young people under the age of sixteen will require
adult's persons to be a part of this research.
