Some adults need significant support from their parents, however no strategy or policy in Scotland specifically addresses the needs of parents of adults.

We are delighted to share our briefing and recommendations on parenting with adults

Read here: www.parentingacrossscotland.org/media/1702/p...
The image reads ‘Parenting with adults, briefing paper, January 2025’. In the bottom right corner is a miniature picture of the briefing report, and the Parenting across Scotland logo on the bottom left of the image.

Our third manifesto call is putting parents' and carers' views and experiences at the heart of decision making. Their voices must be valued to truly understand the constraints families experience and what can help, acknowledging differing experiences across demographics and communities.
The image reads 'call 3: put parents' and carers' views and experiences at the heart of policy development and implementation. There is an image of the Parenting Across Scotland Manifesto at the bottom right hand corner.

We’re delighted to have 32 organisations join our call for all political parties to commit to keeping the promise through the duration of the next Scottish parliament.

Read the joint letter & our pre-election paper which sets out the specific actions needed: ow.ly/NyKb50XpSqS
Three arrows point upwards behind the promise heart (made up of four shapes and an outline to represent the five foundations: voice, family, care, people, and scaffolding) suggesting progress to keep the promise. The quote next to the heart reads "We remain committed to keep the promise so by 2030 all children grow up loved, safe, and respected and realise their full potential."

Our second manifesto call is to ensure parents and carers are confident champions of their children's rights by increasing their understanding of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
The text reads 'call 2: Ensure that parents and carers are confident champions of their children's rights by increasing their understanding of the UNCRC'. There is a small image of Parenting across Scotland's manifesto in the bottom right hand corner.

Having launched our 2026 Manifesto, we are going to be taking a deeper look each week at the six calls.

We believe that, if introduced, the six calls would have a profound and positive impact on the lives of parents, carers and their families in Scotland.

Young Scot are looking to collect the views of young people in Scotland to investigate what is needed to improve their access to hobbies.

Please share with your networks!

Let's talk about hobbies!

Hobbies and activities are lots of fun & can make a big difference to young people's wellbeing and life skills...but they can also be pricey and hard to access.

Share our survey with young people to help improve hobbies in Scotland 👇

🚨 BREAKING: 1 million people faced hunger and hardship in Scotland last year due to a lack of money. This includes 210,000 children.

Scottish and UK governments must act NOW to end hunger.

We demand better than millions facing hunger in our communities.
