Positive Parenting will cease to exist as an independent charity but Care for the Family will continue to use the Positive Parenting brand.
Mark Molden, chief executive of Care for the Family and chair of the National Academy for Parenting Practitioners, will head the organisation. Ken Shorey, chief executive of Positive Parenting will be retained for a period of time in an advisory capacity. Existing Positive Parenting staff will be transferred to Care for the Family.
Molden said: "Positive Parenting brings with it a wealth of experience, quality resources and a training programme which will benefit parents across the UK. Our mutual desire is to see families strengthened and parents equipped in their vital role. This strategic merger will enable us both to see this develop over the years to come."
