Is there sufficient childcare in your area for parents who work outside normal office hours?
Parent Panel
Our Parent Panel offers parents free training in dealing with media interviews and public speaking, and opportunities to appear in the media telling your childcare story.
Often, when childcare issues hit the headlines, or when the media are covering our campaigns, they want parents to give their perspective, and case studies to tell their stories. We know there are many parents out there with both strong opinions and powerful stories about childcare. By joining our panel you can gain a range of new presentational skills and build confidence in public speaking.
We will never pass your details on to a journalist without checking with you first, we'll always fit any requests around times you're free, and you would never be obliged to do anything you weren't comfortable with.
We've already run several successful media training days for Parent Panel members. Daycare Trust will pay for all of the training and meet any travel and childcare expenses.
If you are interested in joining the panel, or just want to find out more, contact Veronica King at: vking@daycaretrust.org.uk or call 020 7940 7525.
Once you sign up to join the Parent Panel, you'll also automtically become a member of Daycare Trust's free Parent Network
