Parenting: Family support put at top of agenda

A new multi-agency partnership is to put family support at the top of the political agenda after finding two-thirds of adults are not aware of groups that provide advice and support to parents.

Parenting Across Scotland, which is funded by the Scottish Executive and led by charity Children 1st, will organise events across the country bringing together local authorities, health boards and other organisations.

It will present a final report to the Executive next spring.

Its survey of more than 1,000 adults, carried out by MORI, found that one in five parents of teenagers thought they needed help with problems they experienced with their children.
