Young people can struggle with issues at home that affect their well-being and how they behave. Sometimes, family issues (such as poverty, or the responsibilities when caring for a disabled child) create additional pressures at home.

The following pages provide more information about a range of parental issues. Consider how these may impact the children or young people you are working with. While it may be important to provide some emotional support and practical steps to support parents, education settings should always consider how the work they undertake improves the life of the young person and keep their welfare central to any action they take.
