Type Research
Date August 2006
Region Not Applicable

This report focuses on the market for parental and family support services in England. The market for parental and family support services comprises universal, targeted and compulsory interventions. We have focused on understanding provision across all three of these areas.

The analysis within this report predominantly focuses on the market for local authority commissioned support, rather than that purchased by private individuals. This is one of five reports that informs development of targeted DfES policies in respect of four children's services markets:

  • Childcare
  • Positive Activities for Young People
  • Parental and family support
  • Residential Homes and Fostering
