Webinar: Supporting families to access child maintenance - 18 February 2026

Navigating the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) can be complex and stressful, and for many families it can be a barrier to securing the financial support children are entitled to.

Drawing on two years of learning from the Transforming Child Maintenance partnership, this webinar will share practical tools and tips to support families to navigate the CMS more effectively.

Led by Kerry Jones, Child Maintenance Project Coordinator at Fife Gingerbread, and Charlotte Liddell, a member of the project’s Single Parent Expert Group, the session brings together frontline practice and lived experience.

It will cover:

• An overview of the Transforming Child Maintenance partnership
• The Fife Child Maintenance Project
• Different types of child maintenance casework
• Practitioner training
• A preview of an upcoming online toolkit to simplify guidance for families

This online session is for anyone supporting families to access child maintenance and looking for practical, evidence-based approaches.
