Support for Schools
Resourcing you to support families in your school.
Care for the Family is a national charity working across the UK since 1988. We seek to support schools to positively impact a child’s future by helping to strengthen family life at home. Our popular resources and support are preventative, evidence-based and easy to apply.
We have a variety of resources which you can use to equip staff in their work with families, share with the parents in your school, and signpost families towards. Some of our resources are free, downloadable and ‘ready to run’, while others require access to training.
