Child Arrangements Made Clear

Put a child’s practical needs at the centre of the conversation. Learn the language and process of child arrangements in England and Wales, then practise turning a broad disagreement into clear, child-centred questions.

What you will work through

• The welfare principle and the difference between an adult position and a child-focused question.
• A weekly routine map that identifies handovers, travel, school and activities.
• How to specify a proposal clearly enough to discuss it.
• The routes of direct agreement, mediation where suitable, and court application.
• A neutral agenda for the genuine points of disagreement.

Learning format: three lessons with fictional scenarios and two knowledge checks. Use the exercises without putting a child in the position of choosing sides or sharing their private information on the course platform.

Scope: educational information, not an assessment of a child’s welfare in your own case or legal advice. Safety concerns and urgent cases need appropriate specialist support.
