The government report by the social mobility commission found that parenting interventions can be successful - particularly those that focus on parenting styles, the creation of a supportive home learning environment, relationships within the family and parental stress and mental health.

Programmes can give parents a greater understanding of child development, develop parents’ confidence in their role and support both parents to become actively involved in a child’s upbringing.

  • We also know that positive parenting can lead to
  • Happier children with higher chances of good mental health
  • Confidence and better emotional health for parents and carers
  • A long-lasting positive effect on future generations
