Relationship Training For Professionals Working With Families
What we do
We have a range of resources & training options to help the workforce hit the ground running.
We have carefully created a comprehensive suite of resources
and associated training to suit everyone working with families,
adults and children.
Our topics
Support families to understand and reduce conflict, strengthen relationships, and improve outcomes for children. Our evidence-informed training and resources help practitioners recognise, respond to and confidently work with parental conflict across a range of family situations, from early intervention through to more complex circumstances.
Build confidence in recognising and responding to child-to-parent aggression and abuse (CAPA/CPVA). Our resources provide practical, child-centred approaches that help practitioners understand the drivers of behaviour, improve family relationships, and support safe, effective interventions.
Develop the knowledge and confidence to recognise domestic abuse, understand coercive and controlling behaviour, and respond safely. Our training supports practitioners to make informed decisions, differentiate between domestic abuse and other forms of family conflict, and work within safeguarding frameworks.
Support parents through every stage of family life. From the transition to parenthood and early childhood through to adolescence, our resources help practitioners have meaningful conversations that strengthen parent-child relationships, build confidence, and promote children's emotional wellbeing.
Equip schools, community organisations and voluntary services with practical tools to support children, parents and families. Our accessible resources help build relationship awareness, strengthen protective factors, and create communities that support healthy family relationships.
Help fathers and male caregivers feel included, valued and supported. Our training and resources encourage positive father engagement, strengthen father-child relationships, and give practitioners the confidence to work effectively with the important men in children's lives.
Support families to make decisions together through structured, child-focused conversations. Our training and resources help practitioners facilitate collaborative discussions, strengthen family and care giver relationships, reduce conflict, and empower families to develop sustainable solutions that keep children at the centre of decision-making.
Family-led decision making & mediation
Voice of the Child
Help children and young people feel heard, understood and meaningfully involved in decisions that affect their lives. Our evidence-informed resources give practitioners practical tools to explore children's experiences, wishes and feelings in safe, creative and age-appropriate ways, ensuring their voice informs assessment, planning and support.
Meet Circulus
We know Local Authorities need to hear the views of families about their experience. This vital information helps you invest in the services that are showing impact, save costs and takes a continuous learning approach to service improvement. However, we know that capturing meaningful family voice at scale is challenging. Traditional feedback methods in Children’s Services such as phone calls, interviews and paper surveys are slow, outdated, expensive and ineffective. We also recognise from our research and experience with almost 70 local authorities, that gaining feedback from families is just one part of a complex jigsaw. It’s also about transforming feedback into insights, cost saving and service improvement.
Circulus is the solution.
It provides a wrap-around supported framework that includes real time SMS/WhatsApp communications, training, consultancy, and effortless integration that places the ‘family voice’ at the heart of your work. Most of the parents and carers you support have a mobile phone so why not use it to build an ongoing dialogue?
