Relationship Support Offer Professionals Survey 2026

In October 2023, we ran a survey to identify gaps in the relationship support offer and to understand any training needs. The survey highlighted the need for mediation services and SEND‑specific courses for parents and carers. It also noted the need for wider promotion of the offer and available training.

Of those who responded (156), 36% had accessed parental conflict training, and 59% felt confident in identifying parents experiencing conflict.

In response, a range of training opportunities was delivered, including access to an i‑learn module, the One Plus One digital intervention training, and bespoke awareness‑raising sessions. Mediation services were commissioned to support referrals from Children’s Services teams, and Family Lives was commissioned to deliver bespoke courses for parents and carers of children with SEND.

We would now like to revisit the survey to understand how well the current offer is meeting needs, identify any remaining gaps, and understand future training requirements to help shape the relationship support offer for 2026–27.
