Background The Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (Cafcass) currently commissions the Separated Parents Information Programme (SPIP). The programme helps parents to better understand how to put their children first while they are separating - even though parents may be in dispute with each other. The programme helps parents to learn the fundamental principles and practice of how to manage conflict and communication difficulties. Where a parent decides to make an application to court, one of the options available to the court is to direct the parents to attend a SPIP. Cafcass is usually asked to advise the court if SPIP is suitable for the parents Parents will not attend the same programme as each other. The programme is usually delivered in one four-hour session to small, mixed groups of parents. SPIP is delivered online or face to face. Course content includes parent communication, the emotional effect of separation and being separated parents, and parenting plans. 2. Current commissioning arrangements Cafcass currently commissions 13 providers to deliver the above model of SPIP to 25,000 parents per annum across its 18 service areas in England. Providers are awarded payment per participant completing the course. Contracts for delivery of this model are due to expire on 31 March 2023. 3. Tender for future information and support to separated parents The programme is dated.
