How winning a CYP Now Award gave our team vital recognition

Cafcass's Positive co-Parenting Programme won the Family Justice Award in 2019. Here, Cafcass improvement managers Charlotte Cooklin and Andy Hyde explain how winning the award helped boost the profile of the service and programme.

The work of the Cafcass Positive co-Parenting Programme (CPPP) was recognised at the Children & Young People Now Awards 2019, with the initiative winning both the Safeguarding Award and Family Justice Award.

Winning these awards has been significant; promoting the programme among colleagues, families and partners.

Winning the Family Justice Award, which is sponsored by the Centre for Justice Innovation, was excellent as it showed a clear indication of the commitment by the wider court system to support alternative and creative ways of intervening with families and achieving improved outcomes for children.

The CPPP in an intervention for working with parents where harmful conflict is identified as the most significant risk to children. It offers a structured four session programme for families identified as needing ongoing court involvement, the aim being to work collaboratively with the court by applying social skills to promote change where possible within a court ordered time frame not exceeding 12 weeks.
