Parent Champions are local men and women aged 18 or over who talk to local people about their experiences of being a parent and using services.
They:
- work to build confidence and trust amongst local parents
- offer support by talking and listening to local parents
- inform local parents about childcare opportunities in their area
- encourage parents to register with Strengthening Family Hubs and to become active users of the services there
- encourage parents to access other services in the city
- offer 1:1 support to local families who may need that extra bit of help
