Meet the team

The Family and Parenting Team provide the first port of call for parents and carers of children and young people aged 0-19 who would like some support.

Bringing up a baby, a child or a young person is a difficult job. They aren’t born with a set of instructions and their needs change as they grow and develop.

A wealth of Parenting support is available across the City, including fun, engagement activities where parents / carers can brush up their skills and meet other parents; free Parenting programmes, which allow adults to access a longer intervention and parent support groups, which meet the specific needs of parents / carers and children / young people.

Did you know that all mothers, fathers, grandparents and carers of children and young people aged 0-19 are entitled to free parenting support?

Are you a parent-to-be who would like help with understanding what to expect from your baby?

Are you a parent and would like to learn more about positive parenting?

Are you a dad, granddad, step dad, uncle or male carer who would like support?

Are you a family who have a range of complex issues?

If so, contact:

The Family and Parenting Team on (0191) 4432908 and we will support you onto a free parenting programme or project.
