The Scottish Government would like to inform you about a new resource designed to provide guidance for families going through separation or divorce – Your Parenting Plan.

First published in 2006, as the Parenting Agreement for Scotland, the Plan has been refreshed by the Scottish Government in conjunction with a number of key agencies, and will be promoted over the coming weeks to help as many families as possible access practical advice.

 You can go to download or request a copy of the Parenting Plan via this link – mygov.scot/parentingplan

The site also contains a link to Guidance Notes for professionals who work with parents and children, with information on how to support parents to make a Parenting Plan – mygov.scot/publications/parenting-plan-guidance-notes.  There is also a Charter for Grandchildren that sits alongside Your Parenting Plan – mygov.scot/publications/parenting-plan-charter-grandchildren.
