Parenting UK’s Consultancy Service was set up as a discrete unit in response to requests for specialist expertise, and is the largest provider of parenting support consultancy in the UK. 

Our freelance consultants are able to offer a wide range and depth of knowledge, skills and experience. As the lead body for quality standards in parenting education and support, we are committed to professional development and excellence of service provision.

The purpose of Parenting UK Consultancy is to support all those working with parents in the field of parent education to further their knowledge and understanding, clarify their planning, overcome difficulties and develop structures and strategies to deliver effective services. Our ethos emphasises the importance of communication and partnership between all those working with parents to create fully integrated services. Our aim is to build skills and capacity right across the sector and we are always as delighted to train an organisation’s staff for a project as to provide a consultant to undertake it on their behalf.
