GOVERNMENT ACTS ON KIDS IN THE MIDDLE
DHA CAMPAIGN DRAWS £60 MILLION SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN AFFECTED BY RELATIONSHIP BREAKDOWN
Kids in the Middle, the campaign devised by DHA Communications for the Fatherhood Institute and other family charities, has won £60 million backing from Government.
At the first ever Relationship Summit, called in response to the campaign backed by 17 of the nation's agony aunts - collectively known as an 'anguish' - Ed Balls said that he was taking a new approach to the issue. He said: "Too often in the past we have focused on supporting adults when they are breaking up but we have not thought enough about the impact on children. We are pioneering a new approach here in thinking about this particular group of vulnerable children.
Among the measures announced today will be further support for new and first-time parents through ante-natal education and parenthood programmes and plans to train practitioners to help them identify and raise relationship issues.
£60m extra will be ploughed into 1,500 schools for over 200,000 children and young people to access support such as counselling and peer mentoring at school.
£5.5m will also be announced for better coordinated local support for separating couples.
