New report from @nestauk.bsky.social was launched yesterday about improving support for families through parenting programmes. Thanks for inviting me to share my thoughts @loubazalgette.bsky.social on the findings and really welcome the call to work together to develop a shared research agenda.
Parenting programmes work - but too few families can access them.
Our new research looks at how to scale the market for parenting support and how it could make a difference to the outcomes of young children.
Join us online on 22 July to hear our analysis: bit.ly/46FohV1

Really enjoyed recording this podcast about digital media literacy in #EarlyYears with Vicki Shotbolt, Lucy Betts, and Melanie Pilcher.
In it we talk about why digital media literacy is important for young children and their families and what support we'd like to see developed.

New report today from @parentzone.bsky.social about digital media literacy in the EYs. Digital is part of young children's lives, but there is little support for families out there. We need to collaborate to work out what families and young children need to make the most of the digital world.
How can we ensure that young children & their families benefit from using digital media & technology?
