Statutory;
A statutory service such as a school supports children and families by providing a free education for the child. While the child is in school the parent can then get time away from that child or may be able to attend work. It also helps as it can support children though after school activities, if a child needs more support. They also help during parents evenings so that the parents get to meet their child’s teachers and get a clear understanding on what the child is learning during school and then the parents may be able to help the child at home with their homework for example.

Voluntary;
A voluntary service such as D.A.S.H supports families and children as you’re able to go away to get a break from things, you also get to make new friends and your parents get to have time to themselves.

A private service such as Gwdihws, which is a private nursery supports children and families as it cares and educated the children while the parents are able to attend work.

“Since 2004 all services in England that work with children and their families are operating with a programme known as Every Child Matters, which has been embedded into law.” (Tassoni P, 2007, page 16)
