Here at Safety Net we know parenting can be one of the hardest jobs. We aim to give parents and carers useful information and tips about keeping children safe and thriving and signpost to support that is available.
Family Support Book Ins
The Family Support Service is available to families with a child or children at participating schools in Brighton and Hove. Families are referred by schools who are working in partnership with us. They are referred for lots of reasons, which can include, parenting or behavioural issues, family breakdown or other difficulties which are impacting on family life.
We offer a book-in service in school for parents and carers to access individual parenting advice from one of our experienced workers. At the moment this is delivered over the phone.
Please contact [email protected] if you are interested in accessing support.
Online Safety for Parents and Carers
We can offer online safety training for parents and carers. This is booked by schools or organisations. If you are a parent or carer interested, please speak to your school about this. Schools and organisations can contact [email protected] for more information.

Safety Net has really helped my family and me because we have done SNAP at school, and at home. It has helped my relationship with my friends and with my family. I am not as shy and nervous as I used to be and I have made five new friends
