Parenting across Scotland works to make sure that parents have a
voice at policy-making and decision-making levels in Scotland.
Our partners work with tens of thousands of parents and families
throughout Scotland. We use their knowledge and experience of
working with families to inform decision-makers about what matters
to parents and families.
Our policy work includes:
- monitoring public policy and its implementation
- responding to government consultations on issues which affect
parents and families
- lobbying Scottish Government about family matters
- sitting on Scottish Government working groups to represent the
concerns of parents and families
- influencing officials at local and Scottish level.
Early Years Framework
In 2008-9, much of our policy work focussed on the Scottish
Government's Early Years Framework. This framework is
about giving all our children the best start in life and the steps
the Scottish Government, local partners and practitioners in early
years services need to take to start us on that journey.
