Since 2004 Parenting across Scotland has provided a focus on parenting issues in Scotland. We work on:

  • improving the information and support available for parents
  • gaining greater recognition for the important work families do in bringing up Scotland's children
  • representing the views of parents to policymakers
  • researching the issues and concerns affecting families in Scotland.

Below you can download reports on our work up until 2010.

Report on work 2007 -10

During the period 2007 - 10, thousands of parents throughout Scotland have found information and support through the PAS website, our Top Ten Tips booklets and our partners' helplines. We have campaigned on health visiting, advocated for parents to Scottish Government and hosted Parliamentary events where parents meet the politicians. MORI polls on parents' views and an evidence to action project, About Families, are just part of our research activity. To find out more about our recent work, read the report.
