Sunderland Parenting Programme Directory
The Sunderland Parenting Programme Directory is now available from the Family and Parenting department of Childrens Services based at City Library and Arts Centre.
The directory is useful in helping signpost parents and carers to the Parenting programmes and services, which are currently available in the Sunderland area.
If you require a copy of the directory please contact the Family & Parenting Team on 0191 443 2908. |
 In 1999 the Government announced a radical new programme – Sure Start. Aimed at Children under five and their families, a number of programmes were set up in various parts of the country. The programme was later expanded to include childcare for children up to 14 and to 16 for those with disabilities and special needs.
The programme for children under 5 is now known as Children’s Centres. The programme helps give children the best possible start in life by offering a range of activities and support services from Children’s Centres throughout the city.
There are a number of Children’s Centres across Sunderland each providing a wide range of activities and support services for parents and their children.
