Industry News: DFE Publishes Evaluation of Parenting Classes Trial

23/7/2014

 
The Department for Education has published an evaluation report of the CANparent trial, a government initiative to examine the development of a universal offer of parenting classes for parents of children aged 0 – 5 years old. Key findings include:
  •  The trial was successful in stimulating demand from parents offered free classes across the spectrum of parent level of education, socioeconomic status and ethnicity.
  •  The trial was successful in stimulating a supply of providers of parenting classes financed by fixed price vouchers.
  •  More time is needed to increase the awareness of all parents of the benefits of quality universal parenting classes and generate a culture where attending such classes is seen as the norm.
  •  Some providers started offering online versions of their classes accessible to any parent nationally.
  •  The trial led to a significant drop in the proportion of parents believing that parenting classes were only for parents with ‘problems bringing up their children’ .
  •   Only 9% of parents attending a parenting class were fathers or male partners.
  •   94% would recommend the class to other parents and, after attending a class, overall parents saw themselves as more effective parents, felt more satisfied with being a parents and had higher levels of mental wellbeing than before taking the class
