For parents/carers
This programme aims to strengthen parents’ ability to support their children at home. This includes helping with homework, encouraging bedtime reading, and contributing to their child’s overall language development.
Alongside these practical benefits, the course supports wider outcomes. Improving English language skills can enhance emotional wellbeing, strengthen personal relationships, and increase confidence in day-to-day interactions. It can also open up opportunities for employment, volunteering, and progression into further education.
To ensure accessibility, free crèche facilities are provided while participants attend the course.
The programme is delivered by Lingo Language in partnership with Brighter Futures.
