• The Knowing Families series of seminars and briefings about contemporary families will draw on the best available research and evidence. The series will be for anyone who wants to find out about family life in the UK today.

  • The Parenting Fund - Through the Parenting Fund the government is funding the voluntary and community sector in England to strengthen support services for parents. It has targeted parents where families are at risk, for one reason or another, and who may have not been able to get hold easily of the services they need. The fund is being used to build and strengthen the work that the voluntary and community sector does with parents. The Family and Parenting Institute (FPI) is managing the Parenting Fund on behalf of the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF).

  • The School-Parent Partnership Project provides practical and in-depth guidance for parents, schools, link workers and all professionals working within schools to strengthen partnerships between parents and schools. The Family and Parenting Institute worked with five schools in England and Wales on this project, and the project was funded by the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation.

  • Early Learning Partnership Project - The ELPP demonstrated different approaches to identifying and engaging parents of children aged 1-3 who are at risk of learning delay, and support them to get involved in their child's early learning. The focus will be on parents who may not otherwise understand the value of their role in their child's early learning, or would not know how to get involved.
