Tell us your views

Many parents have already given us information which has informed the Children & Young People’s Plan. However we would really like to hear from more of you about being a parent in the City of London and about your experiences of using parent or family support services. It is also really important that we hear what you think should be included in the Parents’ Strategy. 

We want to know how you would like to be involved. It would be very helpful if you could contact us to let us know if you would be interested in:

  • taking part in a focus group
  • joining in a session at a local venue used by parents 
  • coming along to an event

We can then make sure that we let you know when and where the things that suit you are taking place.

How we will keep you informed

We want to keep you up-to-date with what is happening as the Parents’ Strategy is being developed.  Look out for the following in venues and settings that are regularly used by families such as your local library, playgroups, estate offices and adult education settings.

  • regular newsletters.
  • articles in City publications 
  • flyers and posters

If you want to make absolutely sure that you receive up-to-date information, contact us with your details and we can email (or post) things direct to you.
