Coronavirus (COVID-19), lockdown and separated parents
Government has said, for families where parents are separated, children under 18 can move between both homes. But it’s important to do what’s safe and right for everyone. 3 things to think about when deciding whether a child should visit both homes are:
- the children’s health
- whether there’s risk of infection
- if there are vulnerable people in either home.
Routine can help children feel safe, secure and reassured so keeping to your usual contact arrangements, as long as it’s safe to, will help maintain consistency and routine. Talk to your children about any changes and explain why these have been made so they feel involved with decisions and secure that others in their lives are still involved day to day.
