About us
ParentsCentre is an official Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) website for parents and carers. We aim to act as a reference book about the education system and a provider of information about the myriad issues relevant to you and your child. We also aim to direct parents and carers to other sources of information and advice.
ParentsCentre has links to numerous relevant websites, both Governmental and
non-Governmental. At the beginning of 2005, Parents Online - a Department for
Education and Skills (DfES) website to help parents understand the internet so
that they and their children can use it safely - was merged into ParentsCentre.
In addition to the internet-related content brought over from Parents Online,
ParentsCentre has also incorporated their Forum and Agony Aunt services.
ParentsCentre has undergone a significant amount of development over the last
18 months, both in content and design. We welcome your feedback and suggestions
in order to further improve the way the website works. Please send your
comments or suggestions via our feedback form.
