One Parent Families Scotland is deeply concerned about Dundee City Council’s proposed budget cuts to Children and Families Services. These cuts risk undermining vital support for families already facing poverty and inequality. While the Council has launched a consultation, the survey is lengthy, complex, and inaccessible to many of the very service users most affected. Families who rely most on services are least able to have their voices heard under the current arrangements. Read our open letter here: Open letter to Dundee City Council We believe every parent and child deserves a fair chance to be heard. That’s why we are asking you to add your name to our open letter calling on Dundee City Council to protect Children and Families Services. Please share widely with your networks and also with parents and families to ensure their voice is heard. '

Remapped! SCCR's new-look website

The Scottish Centre for Conflict Resolution has re-launched its website with a new look! Their website has changed over the past decade as they've added new resources. Their website was full of great digital conflict resolution resources created for families, and professionals and volunteers who work with them - but recently finding your way around the website hasn't always been as clear as they'd like. After talking to a range of users of our site, the SCCR have got a good idea of what works and what could be better. They've remapped the website so that the user experience is better than ever. Resources are more clearly signposted , with it taking no more than a couple of clicks in most instances to reach what you're after. For example, if you're a teacher and you're looking for our teacher pack Emotions and the Brain , you can now find it be simply clicking the 'For Professionals and Practitioners' tab ; the dropdown menu that appears has another tab, 'For Teachers' that takes you to a page that collects all our educational resources. Voila! SCCR have also have added to the site a new search function . If you know what you're after, type in a keyword and you'll be shown a range of entries containing that search term.
