Online - How can we achieve a step change in access to effective parenting support?
@
Evidence shows that parenting programmes can be really effective at helping caregivers to provide the nurturing and stimulating care that children need to support their healthy development.
Nesta - While many parenting programmes are effective, there isn’t enough of this support available to families, meaning thousands of children and families who could benefit from this help are currently missing out.
A national scale-up of the most effective parenting programmes is needed. If these parenting programmes reached the 20% of children who have the highest needs, this could result in 8,000 more children in England each year being on track with their development by the time they start school – a substantial contribution toward the government’s opportunity mission target.
Join us to hear about our new analysis of the market for parenting interventions. We’ll highlight the need for a concentrated effort to strengthen the market of parenting support, and recommendations on how to do so.
