Project will get parents involved

The National Children's Bureau (NCB) is to lead a two-year project to encourage greater involvement of parents in their young children's learning. The Parental Community Support Project will encourage parental participation in children's centres and other early years settings and provide better support for parents to engage with their children's learning.

The Parental Community Support Project will encourage parental participation in children's centres and other early years settings and provide better support for parents to engage with their children's learning.

It will be run by NCB's Early Childhood Unit in partnership with the London Borough of Camden and the children's charity Coram Family.

The two-year project, commissioned by the DfES, has been awarded 500,000 of Government funding.

During the first year, the NCB will identify existing methods of engaging parents effectively. In the second year, this information will be used to develop a core model of good practice and roll out a national training scheme for practitioners in children's centres.
