Parents who have abused often tell us that if they had someone to turn to they could trust, or the right advice or guidance they would have felt better able to tackle their problems differently, and so, possibly, avoided harming their child. We have also heard from parents that they find it difficult to ask for help because they are frightened that they might be seen as bad or stupid parents. At these times the right help might be crucial for both the parent and child. Our child in the family programme recognises the importance of getting the right help at the right time and in the right way.

Services vary widely based on the needs of the local community.
These services actively promote the welfare of the children and work in partnership with the parents, carers and the wider community who are vital to the success of our projects. This is important because we need to know that we are giving the best possible service. We hope that not only will we be able to make sure that as many people as possible benefit from this knowledge but that we will also be able to talk to and influence the Government to make things better for families. We know that parents can often benefit from this kind of help where professional assistance might not be available or unwelcome. This hardback book contains lots of useful information and contacts for parents.
