Plan

This section of the hub has resources that focus on understanding local needs, the alignment of reducing parental conflict with the local system, and engaging the multi-agency workforce.

Planning local RPC support encompasses the local strategic approach for RPC and the role of the multi-agency workforce in delivering this approach.

Strategy is focused on the local vision, strategic approach and plan for reducing the impact of conflict between parents on children. It considers how well community needs are understood, how data is used, and what the shared priorities are for taking action. It also considers how resources are aligned between partner organisations to support delivery of the local strategy. The strategic approach can be set out in an RPC-specific written strategy or integrated within wider early intervention family strategies.

Workforce focuses on local arrangements for ensuring that the multi-agency workforce has the right skills and confidence to deliver the local strategy for reducing the impact of conflict between parents on children. This includes analysing workforce needs across the system, and delivering capacity and capability through redesign, recruitment and training.
