‘Parenting is an important part of loving and caring for your child. Good parenting is about providing a warm, secure home life, helping your
child to learn the rules of life (e.g. how to share, respect others, etc.) and to develop good self-esteem.’
(Royal college of Psychiatrists March 2012)
Being a parent and raising children is one of the most important and rewarding jobs. At the same time it can be hard work and challenging.
Babies and children change and develop at a rapid rate and parents need to adapt their approach to parenting to keep up. Parenting programmes are
one type of support available to parents and carers, which provides them with the opportunity to develop their skills and strategies in parenting and raising
their children.
Parenting programmes are mostly delivered to groups of parents and carers, who come together to work through a programme which has a track record of
improving outcomes for families. The parenting programmes are delivered and facilitated by a trained worker who has experience of delivering the
programme and supporting parents and carers to develop their parenting skills.
In Hackney we recognise that parents will require access to different levels of parenting programmes depending on their particular circumstances.
Therefore we have provided an overview of the Parenting Programmes provided in the borough and indicated which circumstances each programme will
best meet:
Universal
Information, advice, support and guidance for all parents and carers and their families
Universal Plus Partnership
Early identified, and increasing, needs are being experienced by parents and carers and their families
Complex/High risk
Specialist and statutory support for parents and carers and their families where poor outcomes exist
“There is no more important job in any society than raising children, and there is no more important influence on how children develop than their parents.”
(Laurence Steinberg)
