Families are raising children in a challenging world. They tell us that they mainly look to friends and family for information and advice on meeting these challenges. But they also value help and advice on parenting from schools and children's centres, GP's and Heath Visitors. They say, though, that services to help them get the best out of relationships with their partners and their children or to assist if things go 'pear-shaped' are hard to find.
One of our most important functions is to think about innovative ways of providing services to parents and to replicate and spread the learning from projects that work with people who work with children and families in order to help them improve the services they offer. We have pioneered parent information sessions in schools and new ways of voluntary organisations working together to provide parenting support.
