Representing single parents
SPAN is bringing the issues that affect single parents to government and other forums.
Government working groups
SPAN has been representing members’ experiences of policy to government working groups including the National One Parent Family Forum and the Social Policy Task Force who regularly meet with the Department of Work and Pensions. SPAN has also organised participatory workshops on the National Action Plan for Social Inclusion.
Responding to government
SPAN has been responding to Government consultations, current Department of Work and Pensions proposals to increase conditionality on lone parents to find work, and other issues that matter to single parents and their families. You can download our responses from the SPAN resources section.
