What to expect when attending a course

Our courses are here to support you to build a strong and secure relationship with your child or children, whatever their age. As part of evidence-based programmes, you will learn new strategies to help deal with any issues you are currently facing. There will be group discussions and practical tasks to help you build on your strengths and provide you the time and space to think about any changes you wish to make. The benefit of taking part in group sessions is that people can support each other while discussing their current challenges and exploring possible solutions.

Who will deliver the course?

There will be 2 facilitators delivering the courses. They will introduce themselves prior to the sessions via a phone call or an in-person visit, if appropriate.

Who will be taking part in the courses?

Unless stated, all groups can be mixed, meaning there will be female and male parents and carers attending. Most groups allow a maximum of 10 to 12 people to attend.

Group agreements

We will set group agreements at the start of each programme and refer to them when required so that participants feel comfortable and safe to share their experiences if they wish to.

Venues

Groups are held in a variety of settings including schools, family hubs and community centres. Groups are run across the Bradford District at a variety of times including daytime and evening.

Changes due to Covid-19

Due to the risks associated with Covid-19 we are currently not running face-to-face groups. However, adaptations have been made so that we can still support parents with the delivery of our programmes via online groups.
