The course explores how to recognise the signs of parental conflict at the early stages. It highlights how to support parents in finding constructive outcomes, which are shown to provide positive lessons for children to learn such skills as negotiation and compromise.

• Attain a raised awareness of the existing evidence base around parental conflict
