The National Association of Family Information Services (NAFIS) is a registered charity that supports, links and promotes Family Information Services (FIS) in Great Britain. NAFIS represents a network of quality Family Information Services across England, Wales & Scotland.

Our members benefit from a range of support services including, training, publications, electronic communication facilities and regular networking opportunities. Our membership is made up of FIS providers in Great Britain and their key partners in the UK.

Family Information Services provide information, advice and assistance to parents, carers and professionals on the range of children, family and young people’s services available within their area and are an ideal starting point for any family-related query you may have. To find your local FIS, please see our directory.

We hope that you like the new look website and we would welcome any feedback that you might have. We want the site to be a useful resource so if there is anything that you would like to see on here in the future just drop us an email.

NAFIS is not endorsing the No 10 petition

E-mail Print PDF

ofsted.jpgNAFIS is aware, through feedback and engagement with our members of the difficulties experienced since Ofsted changed the information that it supplies to local authorities. We are actively raising this issue at a strategic level directly with Ofsted and the DCSF.
 
NAFIS is part of the Family Information Directory Project Board, the Section 12 Delivery Group and is a key partner in the work that DCSF have undertaken to improve data standards. These groups give us a valuable opportunity to feedback to our members on the delivery of existing policy, as well as the chance to influence further developments.
