Why get involved?
Family Learning
Families are diverse places where we learn some of our most fundamental values and attitudes. Family Learning has a significant impact in raising achievement and breaking cycles of disengagement with learning. Thousands of providers across the country are delivering Family Learning to over 5 million families each year.
Working with parents
Parenting education and support encompasses a diverse range of learning opportunities and supportive activities. It enables parents, prospective parents and those in a parenting role to improve their understanding of their own children’s personal, social, emotional, intellectual and physical needs and the context in which family life takes place. This increases parents’ confidence and leads them to want opportunities for further learning, as well as enhancing family life.
A multi-agency approach
The policy context for this work demands a multi-agency approach. Families come with a whole range of needs that cannot be met by one agency or one provider. Every Parent Matters will bring together Family Learning practitioners through the National Family Learning Networks and professionals working with parents through the Parenting UK forums.
