Parents Matter

ParentsMatter offers a comprehensive service to Parents and Practitioners across Worcestershire.

We know that parenting is a difficult job that most people do well most of the time but parents/carers may require a little help or advice at some time. ParentsMatter can provide support to parents by

• Offering access to parenting programmes
• Providing leaflets for parents of children aged 0-19
• Providing online information and advice
• Offering sign posting to other services
• Running parenting workshops within schools and the wider community
• Providing post  parenting programmes  of support to give parents the "next step" after they have completed a programme

ParentsMatter is also at the centre of parenting within the county, we offer a lead in achieving the Parenting Agenda in Worcestershire guided by the DFE. The 5 outcomes for children remain central to the ParentsMatter contribution across the county.

Support is available both locally and nationally through a variety of mediums including:
