About this service

Parent Talk by Action for Children provides direct 1-on-1 chat with professionals and a comprehensive library of parenting resources for people across England. It is there for parents and carers of children aged 0-19 (or up to 25 with SEN). There is no charge for using it. You can contact them yourself, so you do not need to be referred by anyone else. Whatever you are facing as a family, you do not have to work it out alone. Family life can be demanding, and asking for a bit of support early often makes things easier later.
