Why the government needs to show parents more respect
A revised and updated edition of our popular Respect Begins at Home leaflet, including quotes from David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband on the vital role of parents. It points out that although the leaders of all three major political parties are prepared to trumpet the importance of parents, they continue to pursue policies that undermine and marginalise them.
Along with the other titles in the Respect for Parents series, Respect Begins at Home is intended to raise public awareness of the various ways that parents are being undermined. We hope that it will both embolden parents to take more responsibility for their children, and impress upon parliamentarians and policy makers the need to show parents more respect.
