WE SUPPORT
Parental Primacy
Parents have a right and a primary duty to raise their children, look after their well-being, and enable them to thrive; this is enshrined in both national and international law. We engage with stakeholders for parental primacy in policy.
Responsible Families
Family units are a source of emotional support, love, security and protection to children. We speak up for the family unit to be protected and honoured in policy.
Home Education
The UK has always held to the principle that children should learn in ways that meet their needs. The right to elective home education is protected in law, and it allows parents to choose a suitable education for their children, including in the home. We seek to protect this right.
