Rectangular image with a photo of the Scottish Parliament as the background. In the bottom left is a blue text box with a bold yellow header that reads 'MOTION IN PARLIAMENT' with a subheading that reads 'Support for Shared Parenting Scotland's Work with Separated Families and Veterans. The right third of the graphic has a grey text box with the below text Scottish Parliament Motion S6M-18475 submitted by Mark Griffin MSP, Scottish Labour, Wednesday 6th August 2025. Supported by Paul Sweeney MSP Kevin Kane - Shared Parenting Scotland Chief Executive βWe are grateful to Mark Griffin MSP for lodging this important motion in the Scottish Parliament and for recognising the breadth of Shared Parenting Scotlandβs work in supporting mothers, fathers, and grandparents, including veterans and serving personnel, through our helpline and at group meetings across the country.β Mark Downie - Shared Parenting Scotland Veterans Manager βIβm delighted that Mark Griffin MSP has lodged this motion recognising our work, particularly with military families. As a charity we recognise that military personnel often spend long periods away from home and that the emotional effect of this can be heightened upon returning home if they are unable to see their children. We actively work alongside other veteransβ organisations to ensure that our military families are supported at these times to allow them to make the best amicable arrangements for their children. Weβre proud to be able to offer free participation to our New Ways For Families and Love Loss & Living courses to help support those who serve or have servedβ
We were delighted to have a motion submitted in the Scottish Parliament last week by Mark Griffin MSP, supported by Paul Sweeney MSP in support of our work with separated families and veterans.
