The Parents in Education Research Network (PERN) is a network of individuals and organisations concerned with the promotion, dissemination and application of research about the participation and effects of parents, families and carers in the education of children - in the home, in the school, in the community and more widely.

• encourage new research in the field (including collaborative research)
• publish selected findings
• promote the effective use of findings
• influence policy makers
• interact with other organisations concerned with research about Parents in Education
• work with European partners as the English language network affiliated to ERNAPE (the European Research Network About Parents in Education).
