Putting Children First is a programme designed to help adults build cooperative parenting relationships after divorce or family separation in order to bring about better outcomes for children.

It was developed by practitioners working at the Centre for Separated Families and has been designed as a flexible tool that may be adapted to augment existing services within a range of disciplines and settings.

The programme is delivered as a course that helps parents to understand and deal with their, often painful, experiences and learn new ways of managing the difficult transitions that accompany divorce or separation.

Putting Children First has been developed and refined to ensure that it meets the needs of both parents and practitioners alike.
