It helps parents agree on how to meet the child’s needs, and encourages sharing all or part of the plan with the child according to age and understanding. The guidance emphasizes child wellbeing, safety first, effective communication, and planning together for key areas such as living arrangements, childcare, education, health, culture, and money.","Our Child’s Plan\nFor the online and fully interactive version of this plan and guidance on how to successfully complete the plan please visit the Cafcass website - \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.cafcass.gov.uk\" \\h \u0014www.cafcass.gov.uk\u0015.  \u000b\u000bOur Child's Plan is a written agreement to support a co-parenting approach that covers the practical issues for your child. It works even better if you involve your child. It allows you to set out a plan with your co-parent over arrangements.\nOur Child's Plan is a document for you to agree between you based on how best you think you can meet their needs. It is also an agreement that you should share all, or part of, with your child, depending upon their age and how much you think they can understand. As you create Our Child's Plan, you will be able to talk to your child about what steps you and your co-parent have taken to make their life easier and happier when it comes to how they can enjoy their family relationships.\nThe plan should help your child to learn about what to expect on a day-to-day basis, or over the course of the next few years. It has a specific focus on what, where and who is important to them, and encourages you all to think about what makes your family special and unique.\nCo-parenting relationships should use communication which is focused on improving the experiences for your child. However, if this still feels like a difficult process for you, try and take stock of how you feel, and remember that this process is about finding ways to put your child first.\n\u0003Contents\u0013 TOC \\o \"1-3\" \\h \\z \\u \u0014\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc131083964\" \u00141.

Whilst it might be in their interests to maintain a loving relationship with both parents, their safety and wellbeing should always come first.\nYou and your child's other parent must be safe too. When you are working your way through Our Child's Plan, ask yourself if there are or have been any experiences of:\nDomestic abuse or violence (\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/domestic-abuse-bill-2020-factsheets/statutory-definition-of-domestic-abuse-factsheet\" \\t \"_blank\" \u0014Statutory definition of domestic abuse factsheet - GOV.UK\u0015)\nAbuse of children (\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.nspcc.org.uk/what-is-child-abuse\" \\t \"_blank\" \u0014Understanding child abuse: types, signs, and support | NSPCC\u0015)\nAbuse of drugs and/or alcohol\nChild abduction (\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.gov.uk/guidance/international-parental-child-abduction\" \\t \"_blank\" \u0014International parental child abduction - GOV.UK\u0015)\nAny other safety or welfare concerns that place anyone at significant risk of harm.\nIf you feel safe, continue to create a plan for your child.
