Child Contact with non-resident parents...

Tue, 9 March 2004

Family Policy Briefing 3, Child contact with non-resident parents – the latest in a number of Family Policy Briefing Papers funded by the Nuffield Foundation – was published recently.

The paper was written by Ceridwen Roberts and Joan Hunt, of the Department of Social Policy and Social Work, University of Oxford and can be downloaded here.

The paper covers a number of issues:

• How much contact is taking place at the moment?
• Contact and child support
• The position of the non-resident parent
• Shared parenting
• Contact and domestic violence
• Involving the child

Family Policy Briefing 3 continues the tradition of independent, research-based commentary on family policy issues initiated under the Family Policy Studies Centre, which closed in 2001. FPSC published 17 Family Briefing Papers between 1996 and 2000 which are available at Family Policy Studies Centre. The Briefings are now based in the Oxford Centre for Family Law and Policy in the Department of Social Policy and Social Work at Oxford.

Family Policy Briefings are available for £5 from the Department.
