Parenting charities are calling on teachers, social workers and nursery staff to take part in a national survey about more support for families affected by separation.

An alliance of four organisations - One Parent Families|Gingerbread, Families Need Fathers, Relate and the Fatherhood Institute - wants family professionals to get involved in the debate, which is called Kids in the Middle.

Over the coming months, Kids in the Middle will take evidence and testimonies from parents, children and young people affected by separation, as well as professionals and politicians.

This will be done through the Kids in the Middle online survey and debate via the websites: www.dad.info; www.relate.org.uk; www.fnf.org.uk; and www.oneparentfamilies.org.uk.

It would be great if the large number of female and left wing 'professionals' could manage to root out the sexism which currently seems to discriminate against caring male parents, discounting their opinions, and disabling their much loved children because of it.

Is that likely to happen? Or is that pink curly tail I see flying by?
