02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Parenting Across Scotland (PAS) is a membership organisation. We work together with our members, partners and stakeholders to help realise our vision - a Scotland where all parents and families are valued and supported to give children the best possible start in life. We achieve this by. 1. Listening to parents and carers to understand their priorities. 2. Using the evidence we gather to influence legislation and national policy. 3. Sharing good practice through our newsletter and themed webinars and events. 4. Developing our own projects to gather our own evidence of what works for families.
