Parent support in Hove
Practical online-safety and parenting support for Hove families — across Hove Park, Aldrington, and the seafront — written for parents who'd rather act than worry.
Who we help in Hove
Hove parents and carers of children aged roughly 7–17, plus blended families navigating screens across two households.
What Hove parents ask
- My child wants to join a social platform their friends use. How do I handle it?
- Have the conversation before saying yes or no. Our 'first social account' guide gives a simple framework: what the app is, who can see what, and what you'll do if something goes wrong.
- What local support is available in Hove?
- Brighton & Hove City Council Family Hubs cover Hove as well; West Hove and Portslade have community-run parenting groups; and the NHS Sussex CAMHS service handles referrals for mental health concerns.
- Are your resources free for Hove parents?
- Yes — every article on Parent Connect Hub is free to read. The weekly newsletter is also free.
A note on Hove
Hove parents we hear from most often want help with the transition years — Year 6 to Year 7, and the early teen years — when phones, group chats, and bedtime routines all change at once.
