Parent Club have launched the Child Development campaign which is aimed at parents and carers of 3-5 year olds. The campaign aims to encourage parents to adopt positive behaviour change by slightly adapting what they are currently doing eg playing, talking and reading, in order to interact in ways that help develop their child’s speech, language and communication skills. Information and tips for parents are on the Parent Club website. 

Dear Parent/ Carer

Please see below a link to offer you the opportunity to submit views about the current school meals service provided across Renfrewshire establishments. The information collected will be used to help improve school meals.

The UNCRC Rights of the Child Booklet is now available on the Parent Club website.  This resource provides information for parents, carers and family members about children’s rights and introduces the UNCRC.  To find out more about why the booklet was created click here.

The UNCRC is the internationally mandated children’s rights treaty, which sets out the rights that all children and young people should expect and what they need to grow up happy, healthy and safe.  The treaty outlines the central role played by parents and families and recognises that they also need protection and assistance to support the rights and wellbeing of their children.
