We have a furnished room to let in a house near Lambeth Bridge available from 31 July.

The room comes with double bed and wardrobe. Rent is £600 per month, including water and council tax, plus around £50 in bills. Many places are within walking distance and as such, transport costs are also very low.

The house is a 15 minute walk to Parliament (just over Lambeth Bridge) and in easy walking distance to central London, with the South Bank about 10 minutes away.

‘Sorting Out Separation’ – app from DWP

W4MP — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 00:48:04 +0000

W4MP had the following request from the DWP this week and we are happy to publicise this useful new app.

——————————————

We launched the Sorting Out Separation web app in November 2012. It’s had 1000’s of visitors so far and some really positive feedback which we are really proud of.

We’re embedding the Sorting Out Separation web app on websites that parents already use to make the service as easy as possible for parents to access. Many MPs already have the app on their websites and we’re keen to get the app on as many more MP websites as possible as we know that constituents often go to their local MP’s website for support during the difficult time of separation.

The Sorting Out Separation web app is part of the Government’s Help and Support for Separated Families initiative, designed to coordinate expert support services to help parents work together to achieve what’s best for their children. It also incorporates the online hub outlined in the Family Justice Review. See more information on the app attached.

Alongside this we have also this week launched a video which signposts people to the Sorting Out Separation web app. The minute-long video follows a boy’s journey from childhood through to adolescence and adulthood, showing the positive parenting of both mum and dad at every step of the way. The video aims to raise awareness of how working together benefits children and where to find support and advice through the Sorting Out Separation web app.

Here is a link to the video so you can find out more: tinyurl.com/vidSOS
