Motion Text

That this House notes that household budgets across the country are being squeezed and family life can be very tough; congratulates the staff and volunteers working with Parentline, the national parent support charity, which provides a 24-hour, free, confidential helpline and the Got a Teenager website, for the work they do to help parents with teenagers and children; recognises that building communities that are good for children means listening to parents and giving them the help they need; and therefore calls on the Government to continue to fund Parentline and for hon. Members to refer constituents experiencing difficulties to Parentline via the confidential free telephone helpline and their online support.
