Description

Parenting and family capacity were key issues in the recent election and recent
social research. Academics, policymakers and practitioners agree that supporting families with young children is important to future outcomes.

Is support for families happening in practice?

This event highlighted CRFR’s research concerned parental support including:
• in-depth interviews with mothers about their post-natal experiences
• evaluating the impact of Health for all Children 4 on health visitors’   relationships with families
• findings from the GUS project

The discussion aimed to engage with practitioners and policymakers in order to mobilise new research, gauge how these findings resonate with the experiences of practitioners and policymakers, and to identify possible future research directions.
