Description

Warwickshire County Council is seeking to refresh the multi provider framework for the provision of evidence based parenting programmes. Providers already on the framework do not need to reapply. The framework will provide a suite of training programmes for our practitioners aligned with the Council's spectrum of support (Stepped Approach) and our restorative practice, which we have adopted in our work with children and families. This will ensure that the Council can access parenting programmes if needs arise, at any point during the framework term.
Training providers on our framework will deliver evidence-based parenting programmes to:
1. Practitioners, to embed as part of everyday practice working with children and families
2. Practitioners, to enable delivery of training to parents and caregivers individually and in small groups
3. Dedicated Parent Trainers, to deliver the programmes to parents and caregivers and to our partner services, which include education and the community sector
The suite of training programmes of the framework will cover a range of ages which will include:
? first 1001 critical days
? early years
? primary
? secondary
? post-secondary to adulthood
The evidence-based parenting programme framework is a key part of the Children and Families Change programme, combined with the Council's Early Help Approach 2019 and Early Help Strategy 2018-2023, all of which drive the long-term aim to demonstrate:
o A reduction in children identified as child in need, child protection or children looked after
o Improved health and wellbeing outcomes for all children
o Fewer families require intensive parenting support
o Increased involvement from the voluntary and community sector
