Abstract: |
Research suggests that evidence-based parenting interventions can result in community-wide benefits. In 2007, the government established the National Academy for Parenting Practitioners (NAPP) to increase the availability of practitioners able to deliver evidence-based parenting interventions. The NAPP training offer ran between December 2008 and March 2010. It involved 4,018 training places delivered through 189 separate courses. A total of 3,162 practitioners from 147 local authorities completed primary training in 1 of 10 evidence-based parenting interventions. This report describes findings from the evaluation of NAPP’s training. Data was collected through the training applications, as well as a series of follow-up surveys completed by practitioners immediately following their training and 6 months later. The findings showed that 42% of the NAPP trained practitioners went on to deliver a parenting intervention within 6 months of their training. Although this implementation rate is less than hoped for, it nevertheless has resulted in a dramatic increase in the availability of evidence-based parenting interventions across England. The majority of practitioners also reported that the NAPP training helped them with their daily work with families whether or not they went on to deliver a parenting intervention. Implications and recommendations for service agencies, programme developers, and future initiative are provided. |
