Parenting Support and Family Learning
We have a group of headteachers and agency professionals who meet to talk about what has been successful, what new funding is available and plan all our future events. Dates for future focus group meetings can be found on the home page events section. Please contact us if you would like to attend a future focus group meeting or have a project you would like help with.
The focus group is looking to offer number of initiatives including:
- A number of school based Family Learning events during October 2008
- Wider provision of the Family Links Parenting Programme
- Parent awareness events on bullying
- Parenting teens programme
- Transition support, for parents with children moving between school phases
- A further series of Drug and Alcohol Awareness seminars for parents
- A further series of Internet Safety seminars for parents

Family Learning
Family Learning can include parents / carers, children and the wider family in learning together through a whole range of activities and programmes.
Family Learning aims to encourage adults to learn for their own personal development. The programmes are designed to support parents / carers to brush up their own Maths, English and Language skills, to benefit themselves and their children, and maybe gain a National Qualification.
Family Learning programmes are carried out in both school and outreach venues across Surrey.
