Participatory One Parent Proofing

Participatory Research by Single Parents

2007

68 single parents, living in five different areas of the UK, brought to light the specific difficulties that single parents experience when trying to move forward and stay in employment. Through a participatory approach to enquiry and influencing, these single parents generated new insights into the impact of government policies.

The ‘One Parent Proofing Toolkit’

2007

This is for those organisations whose work relates to single parents and their children and in particular those who work on child poverty and employment strategies. Although the principle of One Parent Proofing can be applied to any policy or service, this toolkit focuses on policies, services and practices that impact on single parents’ ability to escape poverty by moving into and staying in employment.
