This will be achieved by appointing a Parenting Manager (Grade 8) who will lead work to develop the partnership’s approach to
parenting, achieving a co-ordinated approach to effective parenting support spanning pre-birth to age 19 (24 years for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) and at different levels of the continuum need, together with a system for assessing the quality and impact of this work. The post will be created on a fixed term basis to 31 March 2025 as part of the investment to support delivery of the outcomes of the Supporting Families programme, Family Hubs programme and parenting support offer.
