When a relationship breaks down it isn't just the partners who suffer. It's the children who have most to lose; and not just because of the stress of seeing their parents at odds. They also risk losing contact with one of their parents, and with that parent's family too. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins: half their family, half their life, can be devastated by parental acrimony. The NSCFC believes that continuing contact with a child's extended family is vital for the child's balanced development, and it works to foster those all-important family contacts. As such we offer free support and advice to all those in need, Helpline at National rate also available 24hours a day. SCOTLAND One Parent Families Scotland
