Parenting UK

Parenting UK is a national membership body for those working with parents. We are part of the national charity Family Lives which provides direct advice and services for parents including a free helpline, online advice and community services.

Parenting UK, part of Family Lives, is a national membership body for the parenting workforce. Parenting support makes a proven difference to family life and children’s outcomes and our role in helping practitioners is key.

Our mission is to raise public and professional awareness of the vital role of good parenting, to support people who work with parents to be more effective, and to foster good parenting in every family that requires or requests it.

We support our members to be more effective by providing expertly tailored information about news and training, producing specialist events and resources, and by being a strong public voice on the importance of good parenting and the role of parenting support services.

At the heart of everything we do are our members and the families they help. Parenting can be tough at times, with the right help at the right time, the lives of parents, carers and children can be transformed.
