Parent support in Brighton
Calm, practical guidance for parents and carers across Brighton — from Preston Park to Kemptown — on children's social media use, screen time, and family wellbeing.
Who we help in Brighton
Parents of primary and secondary-aged children in Brighton schools, foster carers, kinship carers, and grandparents helping with day-to-day routines.
What Brighton parents ask
- My child has just started secondary school in Brighton — what should I do about a phone?
- Start with the basics: what the phone is for, where it lives at night, and how you'll talk about it. Our guide to a first phone walks through the conversation step by step.
- Where can Brighton families get further support?
- Brighton & Hove City Council runs Family Hubs across the city for in-person support; the NHS offers Brighton-based CAMHS for mental health concerns; and national charities like NSPCC and YoungMinds have free helplines.
- Do you visit Brighton schools?
- Not currently. We focus on free, plain-English written guidance. Get in touch if you'd like us to cover a specific topic raised by Brighton parents.
