Parental Equality

International Support for Shared Parenting.

At the international conference on shared parenting, which was held 25-31 July 1999 in Langeac, France, there was unanimous agreement among delegates from all countries that shared parenting best serves the interests of children, parents and society in general. The promotion of shared parenting, both within marriage and following marriage breakdown, was identified as a key priority which should be supported by Government institutions.
 

Reports by delegates to the conference on the situation in their respective countries will enable the newly formed International Committee on Shared Parenting to identify 'best practice' in the promotion of shared parenting and make recommendations to State authorities on a transnational basis.
 

At the conference agreement was reached on a draft document entitled the 'Declaration of Langeac',setting out the basic principles of shared parenting. It is intended that this declaration will be further refined in consultation with national organisations and a strategy for promoting shared parenting agreed for next year's conference. The Irish delegation put forward a strong case for hosting next year's conference and received a positive response from most delegates.
