Parents want more say about tax credits and family benefits, according to the first survey from an online venture launched by the Family and Parenting Institute to coincide with Parents' Week (20-26 October). The charity said Family Voice will act as a 'megaphone' for families to have their say on important matters, 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 regards to benefits and tax credits. FPI director of communications Sally Gimson, said, 'We want to take the voice of families to policy makers and politicians so they are in touch with how policies affect their everyday lives.'
