PARENTING

Assessments of parenting and parenting support need (12th August 2009)
This study looks at how a range of health, education and family practitioners make their assessments of parenting and parenting support need. It also considers if and how these ideas were affected by factors such as practitioners' own experience of being a parent, relationships with their own parents, their ethnicity, social class, disability, and gender and that of the families they are working with. The project draws on 54 qualitative interviews with practitioners from four professional groups.

The study explores:
  • the process for assessing parenting and parenting support need
  • views on the nature of 'good', 'good enough' and 'risky' parenting
  • the role played by practitioner and family diversity, reflection and training in this area.
