Family Partnership Model is an integral part of many effective child and family programmes used across the world.
Family Partnership is the core method of practice underpinning additional programmes developed by the Centre for Parent and Child Support and our partners including:
Antenatal/Postnatal Promotional Guide System (PGS)
Based on the latest evidence from developmental neuroscience and parenting, the Promotional Guide System is a widely-used, family-centred, practical method for practitioners to better identify, explore and meet the needs, risk and resilience factors of babies, infants, and their caregivers during pregnancy and early infancy.
Helping Families Programme (HFP)
HFP is a specialist one-to-one parenting programme which improves parent, child and parenting outcomes and engagement of families with complex psychosocial difficulties, including significant parental mental health problems and safeguarding concerns. Helping Families is used in children’s social care, mental health and specialist voluntary sector services.
BabyCHAT ©
BabyCHAT is a single session group intervention for expectant parents that shares the latest knowledge on the way that babies develop their social abilities during and beyond pregnancy. Evidence confirms that Baby CHAT improves the bonding and reflective function of parents-to-be.
Health, Exercise and Nutrition for the Really Young (HENRY)
HENRY is a preventive programme widely used in the UK and internationally to improve nutrition and reduce risks of early childhood obesity.
Maternal Early Childhood Sustained Home-visiting (MECSH)
Originating in Australia, MECSH is a structured programme of sustained home visiting for families at risk of experiencing poorer maternal and child health outcomes. Developed by Professor Lynn Kemp, MECSH has influenced child and family nursing policy and practice across many countries.
