The Family Partnership Model has been developing over many years and has been implemented and evaluated in relation to a range of services in different countries.  For further details, please see relevant publications listed below. The approach has been used by practitioners from all disciplines (e.g. paediatrics, nursing, child care, teaching, social work, volunteers) in services relating to child and adult disability, chronic illness, child mental health problems, educational special needs, and the prevention of psychosocial problems, including abuse.  In all these areas, the model is supported by its demonstrated usefulness to practitioners and by evidence from research studies.  Both the research findings and routine practitioner feedback strongly suggest that the Family Partnership training programme is valued by participants and enables them to feel more confident and competent in engaging and working in collaboration with parents.  The programme significantly increases participants’ knowledge and understanding of the processes and skills of helping parents.  There is also evidence of observable improvements in the personal qualities and communication skills they need to listen effectively to parents and to work in partnership with them.  Several studies have shown improved accuracy in workers’ identification of family needs and significantly improved parental satisfaction with the service they provide.

Studies, including randomised trials, have shown significant improvements in the psychosocial functioning of parents and in the development and well-being of children as a result of working with practitioners trained in the Family Partnership approach.  Current research in Oxford is using the model with very vulnerable mothers in a longitudinal study into the prevention of child abuse and neglect.  The Centre is also involved in an international, multi-centred research trial in Cyprus, Finland, Greece, Serbia and the UK (The European Early Promotion Project) to implement and evaluate a universal service to promote family adaptation and the health, development and well-being of their infants.

The Centre continues to explore and evaluate further application of the Family Partnership Model in a wide range of health, education and social care contexts, including for example the primary prevention of childhood obesity (with the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health) and more general community development (with the Bromley Children Fund).
