Family Learning

Family Learning courses are inter-generational programmes to enable parents/carers and their children to learn together. The courses aim:

  • to develop the skills or knowledge of the adult and child
  • to help parents/carers to be able to support their children's learning with greater confidence, and to be able to understand why that support is important

We run a variety of programmes for parents and children in schools and pre-school settings across the city, including :-

  • short workshops,
  • courses for families who speak other languages,
  • courses for young parents,
  • courses for parents of pre-school children
  • longer accredited courses to support the literacy and numeracy skills of parents and children.
  • National Certificate courses for Adult Literacy and/or Numeracy,

Parents on all our longer courses have access to advice and guidance sessions to enable them to move on to further education and training.
