“ Finally, I want to thank all those who contributed to the Review and, in particular, all those parents and children who have been so thoughtful and constructive in providing evidence. The children and young people who carried out research on their own initiative through the Office of the Children’s Commissioner for England were especially impressive, and show so clearly that if we as parents can create the right environment in which our children can thrive, the future of all of us will be the better for it. ”

“ Previous reviews of these issues have been led by eminent academics and practitioners. I am neither, but took on this task as someone who is passionately interested in supporting family life, not only through my job as Chief Executive of Mothers’ Union, a charity supporting parents and children in 83 countries of the world, but also as a parent and grandparent.

“ Most of all I wanted to bring forward some clear and straightforward suggestions to address these issues and ensure we provide the right sort of support for parents and children alike.
So what would be a good outcome from this Review?
Firstly, that parents feel that I have listened to their concerns and that they will be taken seriously. Parents recognise that they should be the ones to set the standards that their children live by, but in some things they need more support. In particular, parents need businesses and others to work with them and not against them. ”
