Involving Young People in Parenting Programmes
Report Structure
The report is structured as follows:
Section 1 Overview of the Project
Here we describe the IYPP project structure and summarise some of the differences as well as the similarities between the five models utilised in the project, including material drawn from the PRB’s evaluation.
Section 2 Project Delivery Site Reports
Each of the five project delivery sites have provided a report of their experiences and learning. The five service delivery sites worked with TSA to develop a common format to report on their learning during the IYPP project. Each site has reported their experience of taking part in the project, how they developed their service to involve young people, barriers they met and overcame and their overall achievements.
Section 3 The Experiences of Parents and Young People
Material from the PRB’s evaluationisincluded here providing information about the experience of participating in the project for parents and young people. This information was gathered through ‘Before’ and ‘After’ questionnaires completed by young people and parents taking part in the project and from staff who completed questionnaires at the end of each family’s involvement. Individual interviews were also conducted to learn more from parents and young people and from project staff.
Section 4 Lessons Learned from Practice
Staff from the project sites also came together in learning events organised and facilitated by TSA. The purpose of these multi-site events was to provide a forum for the sites delivering the IYPP project in which they could share their expertise and address key issues of practice together. The content of these events has been written up to form this section of the report.
Section 5 Conclusion
The overall achievements of the project are summarised, the dissemination strategy is detailed and next steps for taking forward the learning from the project are proposed.
