The Family Information Service (FIS) can provide information about a range of services in your area.
It is the first point of contact for all children, families and professionals for information, advice and assistance relating to children or the families of children, aged 0 to 25 years.
Whether you’re trying to organise childcare, want to know more about early years education and after-school activities in your area or you just need a little extra support to be a good parent, there is plenty of help available.
Useful advice and courses and groups for parents
We want parents to be involved in shaping the service we provide and your views are important to us. We hear from parents in lots of different ways, like conversations, events, forums, and consultations.
Parent Champions are parents who give a few hours a week to speak to other parents about the services that are available to them. If you are interested in:
- talking with other parents/carers about the benefits of using services;
- answering questions about your own experience of using services;
- helping other parents/carers to make choices from themselves and their children; and
- signposting parents/carers to local services
