In its Parenting Action Plan for Wales, the Welsh Assembly has proposed guidelines to help local partnerships set up more Parent Networks and promote models of participation. It wants local framework partnerships to find ways to engage with parents and carers at the planning stage for support services and promote positive parenting.
The Assembly has promised to increase funding for Cymorth, the Children and Youth Support Fund, from 43.9m this year to 75.3m in 2007/08.
