Parent Know How
Parent Know How: working together, supporting families
Parent Know How is a government initiatve that aims to make sure parents can get the help they need, when they need it, whether through existing telephone helplines or through a new generation of services, delivered online and via mobile phones.
Please note: The term 'parent' covers mothers, fathers, carers and other adults with parental responsibility.
Parent Know How is made up of four strands:
- Telephone helplines - a proven, popular way to deliver support to parents.
- The Innovation Fund - using emerging technology such as web and social media, SMS and instant messaging to reach parents in new ways.
- Print media - delivering support and information to parents through syndicated content in newspapers and magazines.
- Online information - local and national parenting services on Directgov and through local Family/Childcare Information Services.
