Moray Community Planning Partnership is in the process of developing a Parenting Strategy.
 
The aim is to ensure parents, of children of all ages, and others who undertake a parenting role eg kinship carers, foster cares, etc, are equipped and supported to be the best that they can be so that they, in turn, can give children and young people in Moray the best start in life.
 
The Moray Parenting Strategy will be based on the National Parenting Strategy
 
The key themes from the National Strategy are:

- Access to clear, concise information for parents
- Informed, co-ordinated support to develop parenting skills
- Improved access and availability to Early Learning and Childcare
- Addressing the wider issues which affect parenting abilities
- Encouraging parents to seek support without stigma or fear

This was based on what parents nationally told the Scottish Government they needed.
 
This survey aims to find out, within these broad parameters, what parents in Moray need.
 
It would be appreciated if you can complete the survey before 9th March 2018.
 
The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete.
