For more detailed advice and guidance on your rights and responsibilities as a parent, the Youth Justice Board is a great source of information. 

Wherever possible, the Youth Offending service will aim to work with you as a parent or carer to help address any problems you may be experiencing. We have a dedicated parenting officer working with parents on a voluntary basis, as well as supporting those subject to a Parenting Order.

If you have any enquiries about voluntary parenting work or a parenting order please email: gill.ellis@essex.gov.uk.
