Parental Engagement Team (PET)

Support for parents

Being a parent or carer can be hugely rewarding but also has its challenges from time to time.

With the right support when you need it, you can develop your skills as a parent and build stronger relationships with your children so that they get off to the best possible start in life.

Programmes for parents

• Learning workshops that help you understand what your child is learning at school and discover how you can help at home.
• Parenting programmes that help you develop a positive relationship with your child and promote good behaviour.
• Health and wellbeing programmes that support your physical and emotional wellbeing.
• Volunteering and employment programmes to help you realise your career aspirations.

Our sessions are delivered face-to-face in schools and community settings throughout Tower Hamlets.

We also offer online sessions, delivered through Zoom, to suit busy parents.

Keeping Children Safe Online

We also deliver online safety sessions that give you an insight into your child’s online world and tips to help keep them safe.
