Strengthening Parental Relationships is Hampshire’s Reducing Parental Conflict offer, a government funded programme which aims to support parents and carers with their relationship. Some level of arguing and conflict between parents is often a normal part of everyday life. However, there is strong evidence to show how inter-parental conflict that is frequent, intense and poorly resolved can have a significant negative impact on children’s mental health and long-term life chances.

Open Sight
Open Sight is calling for all children in England to have a mandatory pre-school eye test as currently, around 12% began their education journey with an undiagnosed sight problem. In a similar way to that where parents are encouraged to take their children for their pre-school vaccinations, having an eye test would help alleviate unnecessary struggles at school due to sight issues.
Open Sight has produced a short video to raise awareness of the importance of children’s eye tests.
Together, we can make a difference to ensure no child is missing out on all that learning has to offer.
