For Family Court Guidance by Support not Separation
This is a working draft by mothers, grandmothers, other primary carers and campaigners determined to stop children in their thousands being unjustly taken away from their families, and to stop violent fathers having unsupervised contact with children when the child doesn’t want it and/or the mother thinks it’s not safe. It is based on collective self-help which brings together our combined first-hand experience. We hope you find it useful and strengthening in your struggle to protect your children. We welcome comments and suggestions.
For women with visible and invisible disabilities: Your benefit rights by Winvisible
The best-known advice agencies mainly tell people how to comply with the new rules. Most of them don’t give us the information we need to fight our cases. The information here comes from sharing our experiences with other grassroots groups, claimants, anti-poverty campaigners, single mums, tenants’ rights and disability campaigners, and lawyers bringing legal challenges.
