Our manifesto describes the improvements we seek in family policy and services. We are lobbying for improved universal services for parents, an increase in services that offer couple and relationship support and steps to reduce the pressure of commercialisation on families. We would like companies to limit their marketing to children and Government to ban marketing to children under seven.
