Meet the parents!

Mary MacLeod meets David Cameron
One of the most important functions of the Family and Parenting Institute is empowering parents and giving them the chance to put their views and questions to political leaders and opinion formers.

Our "Meet the Parents" events give parents the chance to put the big questions to political leaders: How do I make ends meet? How can I find child care that fits with my work? Will my boss let me take time off if my child is ill? How can I keep my child safe and out of trouble with drugs on the streets and all the pressure on young people to be cool? What do I do if my child is bullied?

So far, parents have had the chance to discuss these issues with Conservative Leader, David Cameron MP, Education Secretary, Alan Johnson MP and Leader of the Liberal Democrats, Sir Menzies Campbell MP.

The series has been very successful and we are planning many more.
