Helping parents back to work – new ideas and practical solutions for teams working with parents

Book here. Can also be run in-house
£95 plus VAT (£111.63)

Our contact with family support workers, stay and play co-ordinators and community engagement teams has shown that many working in Children's Centres and Extended Schools want to support parents get back to work.

New for this year, this highly interactive training programme offers you the chance to consider how your regular direct contact with parents can be used to help parents change their lives.

The session offers an insight into welfare to work for parents; offers new ideas from the latest projects - including the School Gates initiative and Child Poverty pilots; and provides practical and enjoyable activities that can be run for parents in children's centres and extended schools.

Who should attend
Everyone who works with parents in Children's Centres and extended schools including:
Family support workers
Stay and Play co-ordinators
Extended schools co-ordinators
