Campaigns and policy work

Campaigns and Policy

At Family Forward, we believe in more than just providing immediate support and services to families facing challenges; we are dedicated to creating a society where every family thrives.

Recognising that real change requires action at all levels, our advocacy campaign and policy work aim to address the systemic barriers and issues that impact families across the UK. Through these efforts, we strive to foster a community that supports its most vulnerable members, ensuring they have the resources and opportunities to lead fulfilling lives.

Our Advocacy Mission

Our advocacy mission is centred around the belief that all families, regardless of their structure, circumstances, or challenges, deserve access to support, resources, and fair policies that respect their needs and rights.

We focus on areas where change is critically needed, such as improving access to affordable childcare, ensuring fair and accessible family legal aid, enhancing support for mental health services, and advocating for policies that support work-life balance for all parents and guardians.

Striving for Systemic Change

Family Forward engages in rigorous policy work, researching and proposing evidence-based policy changes that can significantly improve the lives of families.

We collaborate with policymakers, other non-profit organisations, and community leaders to push for reforms in family law, education, healthcare, and employment practices.

Our policy recommendations are designed to create a more inclusive, equitable, and supportive society for every family member.
