Positive Parenting Guide from Cumbria CC attached below

Cumbria's Positive Parenting Handbook

As part of Cumbria's Parenting Strategy, the Positive Parenting Handbook provides parents and carers with a useful guide that will assist them in making informed decisions on many of the challenging issues that parents face today. 

Cumbria Parent Partnership Service is a small discrete team which offers independent support, information and advice to parents/carers of children with special educational needs and other disabilities which have an impact on the way children access education. http://www.cumbria.gov.uk/childrensservices/childrenandfamilies/familysupport/parentinghandbook/default.asp
