Our final manifesto call is for investment into a national hobby framework so that every child and young person can take part in a hobby of their choice. We know the benefits that hobbies have on our lives, but often, parents, carers, children and young people face barriers to accessing them.

Our fifth call is for 'parenting with adults' to be given its own emphasis within national policy, recognising that parenting doesn't stop when children turn 18. There are many circumstances in which parents/carers need to parent after 18 years, either short term or for lifelong issues.

Our fourth manifesto call is to deliver universal and intensive whole family support to all that need it, incorporating Open Kindergartens as an effective means of universal provision. Too many feel they don't have adequate help or support in their parenting journey - this must change.

Our third manifesto call is putting parents' and carers' views and experiences at the heart of decision making. Their voices must be valued to truly understand the constraints families experience and what can help, acknowledging differing experiences across demographics and communities.

We’re delighted to have 32 organisations join our call for all political parties to commit to keeping the promise through the duration of the next Scottish parliament. Read the joint letter & our pre-election paper which sets out the specific actions needed: ow.ly/NyKb50XpSqS

This #TrusteesWeek, we want to say a massive thank you to all our trustees who dedicate their time to helping us achieve PAS' vision. They are an invaluable source of guidance, expertise and support to us!

Our second manifesto call is to ensure parents and carers are confident champions of their children's rights by increasing their understanding of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

Having launched our 2026 Manifesto, we are going to be taking a deeper look each week at the six calls. We believe that, if introduced, the six calls would have a profound and positive impact on the lives of parents, carers and their families in Scotland.

We are looking forward to joining the Scotland Demands Better March this Saturday in Edinburgh as everyone in Scotland deserves to live free from poverty. #WeDemandBetter
