The charity said that Family Voice will act as a 'megaphone' for families, which will be used in campaigns to challenge Government.
In the first survey, 67 per cent of parents wanted to tell the Government what would work well for them with regard to benefits and tax credits, and 41 per cent wanted to be more vocal about family services and schools. The survey also found that 63 per cent of grandparents were eager to express their views.
Sally Gimson, director of communications at the Family and Parenting Institute, said, 'Parents and grandparents are eager to have their say on what will make a difference to their family. We want to take the voice of families to policy makers and politicians so that they are in touch with what is happening in families and how policies affect their everyday lives.'
