Session 1: • The impact of parental conflict on children’s outcomes. • Background to the design of the digital resources. • Introduction to OPO digital resources.

Session 2: • A chance to explore the digital resources for yourself. • Skills for working with parents. • Further help and support.

What do I need to know before the training starts?

There are a couple of things to be aware of before the training starts:

• We want to see and hear you. Please turn on your camera and microphone at the start of the training as we value your participation and contributions.

• You will be given a chance to explore the three digital resources – please be aware that these won’t work on Internet Explorer, so it’s best to use an alternative browser such as Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Safari. If you usually use Internet Explorer, you should find that Microsoft Edge is already installed on your computer.

During the training, you will be given access to a digital practitioner guide and other helpful documents to support you when using the digital resources with parents.
