Relationships Scotland’s network provide relationship counselling, family mediation, child contact centres and other family support services across all of mainland and island Scotland. Our work supports individuals, couples and families experiencing relationship difficulties. Around 40,000 people have contact with our services each year.
The National Office of Relationships Scotland supports the network of 22 Member Services. We provide training, development and quality assurance of our practitioners and services. We are a national voice for relationship services and we influence political and legislative policy development in the area of family support.
We wholeheartedly support the principle of equal opportunities and oppose all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination on the grounds of colour, race, nationality, culture, religion or belief, age, ethnic or national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marital / civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, disability, or socio-economic group.
Relationships Scotland members believe that every child and young person should grow up loved, safe and respected in empowered and resilient families and communities.
Child Right and Wellbeing Impact Assessments (CRWIA) are an important tool to identify, research, analyse and record the anticipated impact of any proposed law policy, service or other measures on children’s rights and wellbeing. At Relationships Scotland they ensure that children and young people stay at the centre of our decision making and planning.
