As the name suggests, this is about exploring issues concerning the separation for your child or children.
It is important during separation to consider the experiences and the needs of the children. This brief report provides information about the children’s experiences and can help parents to better understand how the separation and changes are affecting the children. This will hopefully allow the parents to consider the future arrangements from their children’s perspective and make decisions that best meet their children’s needs.
The child impact report can also help judicial officers to get an understanding of what is happening for your children and assist them in making decisions as to the best way to manage your case.
Things that will be considered for the report include:
- your children’s development,
- your children’s relationships
- and the presence of risk factors (such as family violence)

RU Really OK?
It’s wonderful that we have R U Okay day and encourage and remind people to ask the question, but how often will a person be honest. Consider the amount of times people ask, “How are you?” How often do you ponder the question and answer honestly? Most people go to the default, “fine”.
Celebrating Fathers and Father Figures in the Lives of Children.
Father's Day is a wonderful time to celebrate the father's and father figures in the lives of children.It is a day of appreciation and reflection.However, this can also be a difficult and triggering time.There are those that have challenging relationships with their fathers, may not know their fathers, be from same sex parents which does not include a father, or have absent or deceased fathers.However or whoever you choose to celebrate or not as the case may be, let us remember the positive male role models that are there for all the children in our communities be they fathers or not.

My Child is Anxious, What Do I Do?
Anxiety is not necessarily a bad thing.Anxiety can spur us on and help us stay alert.It is that little bit of anxiety that helps us in exam situations.In the past, it was anxiety that helped us stay alive.By being alert and vigilant, we knew when to run or hide when that sabretooth tiger was nearby.
Be The Change You Want To See
Be the change you want to see.Practice what you preach.These are sentences that we have heard before, but how many of us actually do this, particularly in the human services sector?
But You're a Social Worker
Recently one of my best friends died.I was lucky that I got to see him before he had a turn and only his family was by his side. Yes, I wanted to say goodbye but I respected his wishes and was grateful for that last encounter.
