The Government believes that society as a whole benefits if parents, carers and families have access to the help and support they may need in bringing up children.
The 2002 Spending Review announced the creation of a new Parenting Fund, worth £25 million, to develop parenting support. Uniquely, it will go directly to the voluntary and community sector to support parenting and parenting organisations.
The Government and representatives from the voluntary and community sector have joined together to work up proposals for use of the Fund. This consultation document outlines the proposed approach to allocating Parenting Fund money and seeks comments. The views of the parenting sector, the wider voluntary and community sector and service users are particularly welcome before final decisions are made.
