Parenting Support

Schools should encourage parents to seek the support they need and provide access to parenting support. This should include:

• information sessions for parents of pupils joining reception in primary school and moving up to secondary school

• signposting to national and local sources of information

• advice and support

• access to parenting groups using structured, evidence-based parenting programmes

• family-learning sessions to allow children to learn with their parents where consultation has shown there is a demand
