There are a range of local and national agencies who are available to provide support and advice for parents and carers.

Stockton Borough Council have produced a range of Parenting Handbooks that are designed to provide easy to read, everyday, preventative information for mums, dads, grandparents and carers. They give information across a wide range of topics, and local, as well as national contacts are included to signpost you towards information about services and facilities which might be of benefit to you in your parenting role.
