Every Child Matters to Museums

The Government recognises

• the crucial role of parents, carers and families in improving outcomes for children and young people
• the need to provide support for parents, carers and families in order for them to do so

Parents' involvement in a child's learning is more powerful than family background, size or level of parental education.

In the primary years, it has more impact on a child's attainment than the school itself.

Family learning covers all forms of formal and informal learning which involves more than one generation.
