CYP Now - Help from: One Parent Families

One Parent Families is a national charity working to ensure that the UK's 1.8 million lone parents and their children are not disadvantaged and do not suffer from poverty, isolation, or social exclusion.

Its services include information and advice on issues such as child tax credits, child trust fund vouchers, and the rights of unmarried parents.

And it runs a specialist advice service for lone parents who are caring for children with a disability or a long-term health problem.

The charity also offers a subscription service for professionals who work with lone parents so they can keep up with the latest legislation.

Its publications include the Lone Parent Handbook, a guidebook covering issues such as domestic violence, housing, and education and employment rights.
