The contestants will not only have to justify the approaches that they took when raising their own children but deal with children from other families in practical lessons.

From gender-neutral to vegan, ‘off-grid’ and polyamorous, the strong opinions on best parenting practice is sure to flag some strong debates across the UK.

Everything from child-parent relationships to dietary requirements, sleep regimes and social media allowance will be put under the microscope!

The parents will put their methods and morals on display by looking after the other two families. When all three families have had their turn, they’ll come together to view and debate each of their respective experiences.

The decision of ‘Britain’ best parent‘ will come down to the studio audience, who act as judges for the nation in the final episode.

For now, we know that the series will air on Channel 4 in a prime time slot.

Vivienne Molokwu, Commissioning Editor for Features and Formats at Channel 4, said:

Judging is an instinctive human trait and when it comes to assessing the rights and wrongs of parenting everyone seems to have an opinion, theory or practice they just can’t wait to share. Britain’s Best Parent? is an ambitious competition format that explores this space and invites debate and discussion about the myriad of ways the nation is raising the next generation.
