The Full Story
About
In April 2023, UK Social Worker, Bidem organized a seminar, “Positive Integration of Families into the UK”. The outcome of this seminar started African Parenting Support in the UK, Afriparent.com. It is a platform which aims to support African immigrant families within the UK. Afriparent.com was developed to empower African immigrant parents to positively nurture and support the development of their children within the UK law. The platform aims to support African immigrant parents by providing and enabling a clear understanding of the UK guidance and information on safeguarding laws. By June 2024, Afriparent.com was setup and previously led by Bidem Specialists Consultancy Ltd. However, Afriparent has now been directly registered as a Limited company with registration no. 16028952
Mission
We help African families to prevent children from entering child protection and foster care systems by providing timely assistance and guidance. We work impartially with families, familiarizing parents with UK laws and parenting practices, while preserving their cultural heritage.
Vision
We empower African parents with culturally sensitive early intervention programs that address unique needs, promote positive outcomes, and prevent escalation of safegaurding risks.
