Young Parents

We know that parents are the major influence on a child’s life. Parenting in the home has a far more significant impact on children’s achievement than parents’ social class or level of education. Parents’ needs, will, of course, vary and it is right that services to parents should vary as well.

Parentchannel.tv

Parentchannel.tv is a new website that gives free, on-demand advice to parents and carers of 5-19 year olds; providing realistic and practical advice in quality, short video clips packed with useful, down-to-earth guidance from parents, experts and children.

The service currently offers 97 online films on topics ranging from the everyday to the hard hitting. The films feature case studies, top tips and helpful suggestions in 3-4 minute packages so that parents can get straightforward, impartial guidance from real people.

Further videos are available at www.parentchannel.tv

A selection of leaflets are available below to help children's centres promote this service to parents.
