CRFR, in collaboration with Scotland's Families and the Scottish Executive,
have been awarded a grant from the Community Fund to explore the impact of
family change on the lives of young people aged 11-14. The separation of
parents, re-partnerin of parents, or the death of a parent transforms family
life, and can have profound impact on children and young people. So far,
350 Glasgow school-children aged 10-15 have filled in a questionnaire and 70
of those have taken part in an interview. This conference aims to explore
the interim findings of the research at set the agenda for the next phase.

change including teachers, youth workers, family support services, social
workers, school nurses, health workers, voluntary organisations and
academics
