A Government scheme encouraging parents to access parenting advice is now being trialled, giving early years practitioners in the three trial areas an important role in spreading the word about the initiative.
Called CANParent (Classes and Advice Network), the scheme is aimed at mothers and fathers of children aged five and under and stems from Government recognition of the vital role that parents play in their children's learning and development in the Foundation Years.
Backed by the Departments for Education and Health, the initiative has been welcomed across the early years sector. The scheme is viewed as a positive step in ensuring that all parents have access to support for dealing with a range of issues, including their children's cognitive, social and emotional development; their communication; and discipline.
