Understanding the links between parental conflict and children going missing 

Missing People has been commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to conduct some exploratory research into the links between parental conflict and children going missing. This is part of the Reducing Parental Conflict (RPC): Missing Children and Young People Grant Funding.

We are holding a free webinar for multi-agency professionals in England to share the findings of our project which has involved consulting with young people, parents and professionals about the links between parental conflict and children going missing.
