A National Academy for Parenting Practitioners (NAPP) created under the auspices of the Family and Parenting Institute (formerly the National Family and Parenting Institute), Parenting UK and Kings College London, will be launched in October 2007. It will provide training for those who support parents in the community, eg schools, health services and children's services, and conduct research into what methods best support parents.
