Abstract
This research has been conducted by the
UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre
(UCFRC) at NUIG at the request of Tusla
- Child and Family Agency to support the
development of a new Parenting Support
Strategy. This research builds on previous
studies conducted by the UCFRC on parenting
support and parental participation. Tusla’s
commitment to supporting parents and families
is emphasized in the agency’s Corporate Plan
(2021–2023); ‘Families & communities are
empowered and strengthened to keep children
safe and nurtured, recognising a child’s right to
protection, stability and the support of a family
and community network’. Action 1.6.4 of Tusla’s
Business Plan (2019) called for a review and republication
of the Parenting Support Strategy.
This research study will directly inform this
Strategy and Tusla’s parenting support work.
