Family Information Service
If you’re pregnant or you’re planning for a child, find out more about the pregnancy journey and the kinds of services, activities, courses and support we have in place to support Barking and Dagenham residents.
Help for Dads and Partners
Children don’t come with instructions and learning to be a parent can be very tough. Dads are just as important in bringing them up and they have support needs of their own.
Family Mediation
Family mediation helps parents work together when families change. A mediator guides you to find solutions about children, money and homes. You make the choices, not a judge, and it’s faster than court.
Reducing Parental Conflict
Not all fights are bad, but how you handle arguments is important for the whole family. If it’s too intense or too often, it can be bad for everyone, especially children. Find out how to keep peace in the family.
