Family support

The NSPCC knows that bringing up children is one of the most difficult jobs there is.

We also know that most parents want to do the best they can for their children, including those who have crossed the line into abuse.

Our Family Support Services help parents and carers to understand children's needs, improve their parenting skills and cope with pressures that might otherwise cause them to harm their children. The services include pre-natal advice, toddler groups, parents groups, one-to-one advice clinics, sessions on safety in the home and money management, and children's breakfast and after-school clubs. Whatever the activity, we encourage active participation and self-help to build self-confidence and problem-solving skills.

The NSPCC's parenting and family support projects focus on early intervention with families and can help parents avoid losing it by giving them someone to turn to in times of difficulty and by offering alternative ways to manage their child's behaviour.

The NSPCC has 38 parenting and family support projects spread across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
