Parliamentary inquiry to look into parenting support and social mobility

Policy & Politics Families
A joint inquiry has been launched into parenting support and social mobility.

The All Party Parliamentary Groups for Social Mobility and Parents and Families have come together to launch the inquiry ahead of the General Election.

Its aim is to build on the work undertaken as part of the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Social Mobility’s ‘Seven Key Truths about Social Mobility’ 2012 report, which found that the point of greatest leverage for social mobility is what happens between birth to three, primarily in the home.

The inquiry will examine the link between parenting and social mobility outcomes, the role of parenting support schemes, and how this support could be improved.

It will also consider potential models for a national parenting programme or campaign.
