Child maintenance can significantly boost the income of a single parent household. However, only 1 in 2 separated families have an arrangement where some child maintenance is received, and just 1 in 3 have an arrangement that is satisfied in full.

This webinar is aimed at practitioners in Scotland who want to learn more about supporting single parent families and boosting their income. The webinar will be led by Lisa Wright, who is an experienced Advice Worker at One Parent Families Scotland and a strong advocate for a fair and child-focused Child Maintenance system.

Topics covered: 

  • What is Child Maintenance?   
  • Claiming Child Maintenance 
  • Common barriers to claiming Child Maintenance and how to overcome these. 
  • Where to get support as a practitioner and as a parent. 

All webinars will be from 10-11am. Select your preferred date and sign up using the links below:

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.
