Parenting & families

The quality of parenting and of the relationship between parents, whether they are together or apart, has a major influence on a child’s development and long-term life chances. Early intervention can help to improve parenting practices, to support families feeling the strain of financial or other pressures, and to reduce the conflict between parents which can be harmful for their children.
