Training for working with Parents using the Nurturing Programme
All-Through Schools
There are several professional training courses for staff in schools who wish to work with parents individually or in groups. Delivering our parenting programmes helps to build relationships with parents, brings a shared language and strategies for managing difficult behaviours, as well as more opportunities to work together to support the development of self-regulation. It can also support attendance.
Parent Group Leader Training
​
This four-day training course equips school staff with everything needed to deliver The Nurturing Programme for parents – including a manual that gives clear and detailed step-by-step guidance for each session in the ten-week programme.
Also included is The Parenting Puzzle, an easy to use guide for parents, and a set of games.
​
The groups need to be delivered by two trained facilitators.
