Relationships matter in Kirklees and we are working to support families where there is conflict. We want to work with our communities through developing strong relationships, and ensure that children grow up experiencing healthy relationships.

Our definition of Parental Conflict is:

“Parental conflict does not involve any abuse or violence. Conflict between parents – whether together or separated – is a normal and healthy part of relationships. However, when children witness conflict that is not resolved or includes regular or long periods of bickering, arguing, shouting, or ignoring one another, it can be harmful to our children. It can result in children feeling upset, confused, and angry, affect their relationships throughout their lives and impact their schooling, their health and wellbeing and their behaviours”
