Parenting UK is the national organisation for people who work with parents. Their aim is to promote best practice in all parenting services. To do this they:
- Developed the National Occupational Standards for Work with Parents.
- Support and share good practice wherever it is found.
- Keep members informed about new developments in the field and provide them with opportunities to network.
- Engage with and inform policy makers.
Working with parents 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 and their children's personal, social, emotional, intellectual and physical needs and the context in which family life takes place. This enhances family life and the contribution which families make to society.
Many of their publications are available for free on the above website.
The authors and editors of this article are employed to create accurate and up to date content reflecting reliable research evidence, guidance and best clinical practice. They are free from any commercial conflicts of interest. Find out more about updating.
