The UK has seen a profound change in Government interest and in public debate on the family. All political parties now accept that economic, social and family wellbeing are connected and that families play a key role in building neighbourliness and the kind of communities we want to live in.

We have a key role in informing the public debate about families, in pressing politicians to respond to the day to day concerns of parents and in keeping family policy in the political spotlight. We want to influence policy effectively and offer practical solutions and advice for those who work with children and families, so we work to understand what life is like for Britain's families.
