Being a parent is important and rewarding but at times parents may need information, advice and support at different stages in their child’s life. These pages aim to help parents to:

  • encourage their children to reach their full potential;
  • support their children to be healthy, strong, safe, to enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution to family and community and achieve economic wellbeing;
  • work with schools and other agencies to achieve best outcomes for children; and
  • comply with the law in undertaking their parental responsibilities.

There is a wide range of support and advice on things like children’s behaviour, diet, education, future career and much more; about what help is available in Birmingham as well as links to national web sites that may help parents.

The pages are listed to match each stage in a child's development from pregnancy through to adulthood.
