The Parents Promise is a group of organisations, and individuals, who believe that all children deserve the most positive experience possible during parental separation or divorce.
Our aim is to create a genuinely child-focussed society and better systems to ensure the long-term wellbeing of children when parents separate. The Parents Promise Education Project will look at parental separation and school and what resources could be created to better support children, parents and educational professionals.
