Synopsis

Parenting education has become a major theme of social policy discussions, not only in the press but also in government. Open access parenting programmes offer one way for agencies to deliver help to parents bringing up children in a wide range of circumstances.
This book examines in depth the views of stakeholders in these programmes: those who fund and provide them: parents who attend and those who, for various reasons, do not; and children themselves. It shows clearly what parents and professionals want from programmes in terms of access and outcomes. Setting this information in the context of current policy and practice, it suggests key principles for future development.
