Single parent consultation – Your views, your priorities

14/03/2022

One Parent Families Scotland provides family services in local communities and a unique national, single parent information and advice service. OPFS campaigns for policies which support single parents and their children to live free of stigma, discrimination, and poverty to achieve their potential.

As part of our plans for the future we want to know what the key issues are which single parents say affect their family and what they think can be improved.

We also want to know your views on what services & support OPFS should provide, both nationally and locally, in areas where we deliver community-based services.

What policies do you think OPFS should campaign on so that single parent families live free of stigma, discrimination, and poverty?

We want to make sure we capture the diversity of single parents. We would like to ask you a few questions to make sure our report takes account of gender, equalities and takes a human rights perspective.

You can also help us to reach as many single parents as possible by sharing the survey far and wide – see our suggested social media posts and images.

Please answer the questions below or click here to open survey in a new window.

Covering your tracks

You may not want other people to know that you’ve been searching for information or help from OPFS.

When browsing the internet whether on a mobile phone, tablet or computer, you leave a ‘history’ trail of pages and sites you’ve visited.

It’s impossible to completely avoid being tracked online but if you’re worried about someone knowing which sites you’ve been looking at, there are some things you can do to help cover your tracks.

If you’re using a laptop or desktop computer, try keeping another document or website open in a new tab or window while browsing. If someone comes in the room and you don’t want them to see what you’re looking at, you can quickly switch to another window or tab.

Deleting browsing history

You can delete the history of websites you’ve visited, but it’s important to know that if you delete your browsing history, someone else using the same device may notice.

If you share a tablet, mobile phone, laptop or computer with someone, they might notice that passwords or website addresses have disappeared from their history.
