Parental support

Useful links providing information and guidance for bringing up children.

Bringing up children can be daunting, but it doesn't need to be. Here are some useful links to sites which provide helpful information, advice and guidance. 

For Baby’s Sake

For Baby’s Sake is a programme for expectant parents who, whether together as a couple or not, want to bring an end to domestic abuse and create the best possible start in life for their baby.   

For Baby's Sake helps both parents to make the lasting changes that they want for themselves and their family.   

For Baby’s Sake could be recommended if: 

  • pregnancy is ideally before 28 weeks 
  • both parents are willing to co-parent – they do not have to be in a relationship or live together to take part in the programme 
  • both parents are aged 17 or over when baby is born 
  • the female co-parent and baby live within the three boroughs (Westminster, Hammersmith & Fulham and Kensington and Chelsea)
