Lessons from the frontline

The Academy has run a series of consultation events in each government region to find out what parenting practitioners up and down the country need so that we can design our services to meet those needs. 700 people from the parenting world came along, and gave us the benefit of their views. Read more about what parenting practitioners think about their work and how we can help them do it better.
