For separated parents, the start of a new school year can mean agreeing new arrangements for school runs, homework, clubs, activities and time between two homes.

A little planning can help children settle into the new academic year with less disruption.

Talk through the practicalities, agree what's important and - where possible - keep things consistent between homes.

Parenting plans aren't about trying to predict every situation. It's about making the important things clear.

A parenting plan created through family mediation is a written, voluntary agreement outlining how separated parents will share child care, living arrangements, schooling, healthcare and holidays. Facilitated by an accredited mediator, it helps reduce conflict and keeps focus on the child's best interests without going to court.

Six weeks is a long time.

For separated parents, the summer holidays can bring changes to routines, childcare, holidays and time spent between two homes. What works during term time may not work quite so well during the summer.

If you're finding it difficult to agree arrangements, you don't have to work it out alone.

Family mediation provides a calm, neutral space to talk through what's important and find practical solutions that work for your family.
