Children in Wales supports professionals across Wales to support practitioners to deliver better quality family/parenting support services by:
- Seeking to influence policy relating to parenting and family support Providing information, support and resources for the parenting and family
- Support workforce
- Providing training to a range of professionals
- Providing opportunities for practice and information exchange
- Organising seminars, conferences and other events that share research, policy and good practice
The Network was established in 2009 as a response to requests from individuals undertaking a sole role as a parenting coordinator with strategic responsibility. These individuals wanted to come together to develop through providing shared learning, resourcing, mutual support and information. There was a want to exchange and to learn from each other through a problem-solving, solution focused approach.
