Best Practice Guidelines for Contact between Parents and Infants/Young Children in Separated Families
These guidelines are informed by research carried out on behalf of One Family by academics based in Trinity College Dublin and University College Cork. The research consisted of an in-depth international literature review on the issue of contact for children aged 0-6 year olds in separated families; the distribution of an online survey for parents who have experience sharing parenting of infants and young children; two focus groups with professionals working in the area of family law, one with social care professionals and one with legal professionals; and six interviews with members of the Irish judiciary working in the area of family law.
The research was funded by the RTE Toy Show Appeal and Community Foundation for Ireland Fund.
