On our blog: Children of separated parents: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
Using innovative, participatory research methods, this book offers new insights into the issues surrounding parental separation or divorce from the unique perspective, and retrospectives, of young adults. As they look back on their childhood, their views provide valuable insights into how children experience and accommodate their parents’ separation.
Drawing on the qualitative research findings, Kay-Flowers develops a new framework to provide a useful analytical tool for academics and practitioners working with children and families to make sense of young people’s experiences and puts forward suggestions for improving support for children in the future.
Susan Kay-Flowers is a programme leader at Liverpool John Moores University. Her research experience in the area of children and young people’s relationships builds on her earlier professional career in probation and the family courts.
