RESEARCH & POLICY for THE REAL WORLD
Giving families a voice
Annual Report 2006-2007
We worry about crime and
anti-social behaviour and about
what sort of world our children
will grow up in
We know from history that the family
has always been a most resilient
institution. But we worry about how
much it is under strain and about
which policies offer most to families
in our changing world.
Public debate is highly contested.
Every new initiative in parenting
support is argued over; praised
for replacing the ‘lost’ extended
family; derided as another example
of a ‘nanny’ state interfering but,
nonetheless failing to tackle the
‘root’ causes of family breakdown.
The high-volume debate means
there is a lot of blame and guilt
around. We need to get a clearer
view of what is going on so we can
have effective rather than sound-bite
family policy. Most of all, we need to
get a picture from families directly.
The Family and Parenting Institute
aims to listen to and learn from the
experiences and views of families
of all kinds across the country, and
across the generations.
Each family is unique but many
concerns and desires are shared
by every family. We want safe
communities for our children; we
want to be able to spend time with
each other; we worry about crime
and anti-social behaviour and about
what sort of world our children will
grow up in.
Families can feel isolated, left to
cope alone with problems they
can’t handle by themselves. This
shouldn’t be the case. So we
work to make their voices heard in
Government and locally, for example
in schools, health services, and
A message from our Chair and Chief Executive
businesses. Through our forums,
surveys, research, focus groups
and discussions we listen to families
and take those concerns to policy
makers and opinion formers.
More than this, we give parents the
opportunity to put these concerns
directly to politicians themselves.
In this report you will read about our
Meet the Parents events and the
Parental Voice project; both ways of
empowering parents and giving them
forums to make themselves heard.
But listening is not enough.
We work with others to change
the environment for families. We
have pioneered the importance
of family-friendly services and
communities. We have argued for
more responsible business practice
in marketing to children, better
employment practice and child
care, for time to care. We have
argued for more parenting and
relationship services and brought
voluntary organisations together to
run innovative programmes reaching
thousands of parents across
England.
With debate so heated, calm voices
are necessary and so is space for
honest debate. We work to promote
resilience, the spread of knowledge
and expertise. This is the opposite
of finger-wagging or moralising; it’s
the opposite of patronising parents
or experts knowing best. It’s about
acknowledging that being a parent
and developing a happy family life is
fundamentally important to people,
that skills to enrich relationships are
people’s right to know about and
choose, and that government and
the wider community have a role
in making the UK a place where
families thrive and have a future.
This report will tell you more about
the work we have done over the last
year. We are proud of the work we
do and we are proud of who we do
it for.
The Family and Parenting Institute was set up, as we turned the
century, in the context of great anxiety about the family. That anxiety
continues as we confront the painful facts of our lives together
– children killed in unsafe streets and social inequalities still leaving
poor children far behind.

Giving a voice to families
Families are raising children in a challenging world. They tell us that they
mainly look to friends and family for information and advice on meeting
these challenges. But they also value help and advice on parenting from
schools and children's centres, GPs and heath visitors. They say, though,
that services to help them get the best out of relationships with their
partners and their children or to assist if things go 'pear-shaped'
are hard to find.
Since its inception in 1999, the
Family and Parenting Institute has
been committed to giving families
a voice and throughout last year
we worked hard to make sure that
these voices were heard at the
very highest level.
Parents’ Panel
Our Parents’ Panel is made up
of just under 250 parents from all
across the UK. Recruited through
our website and literature, panel
members take part in our events
and provide vital feedback on
our work as well as speaking to
decision-makers and the media
about their own experiences as
parents. Every single member of
the Parents’ Panel plays an
important part in our work and we
would like once again to thank
them for all that they do for us.
Meet the Parents
Last summer and autumn, the
Family and Parenting Institute
hosted three events where
members of our Parents’ Panel
had the chance to put questions
about what mattered to them and
their families to leading politicians.
David Cameron, Alan Johnston and
Sir Menzies Campbell all took part
in lively discussions and parents
were given a unique chance to
make their voices heard.
“It was great to get the chance
to speak to them. Politicians don’t
listen enough to ordinary parents”
Parental Voice
When Government is legislating
for families and parents, parents
should be recognised as key
stakeholders and their views should
be sought and listened to. The
Family and Parenting Institute,
in partnership with the National
Consumer Council, has been
working with the Department for
Children, Schools and Families to
explore how it can properly engage
with parents.
“You need to get parents involved
and make them believe they can
make a difference”
Media Presence
The Family and Parenting Institute
continues to be the leading voice of
authority on families and parenting
issues. Notable highlights over
the last year include our Parents’
Week coverage on TV parenting,
Parent Child 2006 Conference
coverage exploring Government’s
role in supporting parents and Meet
the Parents. We also continued
to provide first class comment
and analysis both nationally and
internationally.
“We don’t cherish our
children enough”
Sunday Post, February 2007
“Parents ‘rely on TV for advice’”
BBC Online, October 2006
“Since its inception seven years
ago, the Family and Parenting
Institute has been working hard
to gather together all academics,
professionals, and activists
concerned with family policy to
discuss best practice”

Seminars
Progressive Inequality?
Difficult Questions for the Next
Decade, February 2007
This seminar, which we hosted
on behalf of the Commission
on Families and the Wellbeing
of Children explored what can
be done to tackle the growing
inequalities in Britain. It examined
issues such as the role of
education, what the Government
could do and what needs to be
done to properly deliver on child
poverty asking “Is a focus on
child poverty appropriate, or is
it deflecting attention from the
economic trends that are resulting
in increased inequality?”
The Criminal Responsibility
of Children and Their Parents,
June 2006
This was also hosted on behalf
of the Commission on Families
and the Wellbeing of Children and
looked at two issues at which the
Commission had raised serious
concerns; the age of criminal
responsibility (one of the youngest
in Europe) and the dual nature
of youth offending affecting both
parents and children. The seminar
examined these difficult issues and
considered ways by which the state
can better support children who
commit offences and their families
while still protecting society from
anti-social behaviour.
Commission in Haste,
Repent at Leisure? April 2006
Preventative services are difficult
to evaluate and there is a sense
in some quarters that we may be
asking too much of this type of
intervention, and consequently
setting the bar too high in relation
to the impact of preventative
services on families. This seminar
examined the issues surrounding
Research for the real world
The Family and Parenting Institute produces thought provoking research
and policy. We host seminars, bringing together some of the leading
authorities on family life and parenting issues and giving them platforms
to debate and share ideas and our publications move forward debate
and provide valuable tools for practitioners.
04
Bringing together some of the
leading authorities on family
life and parenting issues and
giving them platforms to debate
and share ideas
this crucial debate and asked if
the increasing emphasis on using
evaluative research to inform
decision making in relation to
supporting families and improving
outcomes for children was
responsible for the disappointing
results so far.
Publications
“Children Talking about Brothers
and Sisters is so refreshingly
simple and very effective.”
Over the last year, the Family and
Parenting Institute has once more
published thought-provoking and
innovative reports, books and policy
discussion papers covering a wide
range of topics and ideas.
Attachment and the Perils of
Parenting was a major new review
of the issues and debates round
this theory. Drawing on historic
and contemporary debates around
John Bowlby’s often controversial
theories and their development, the
author, Dr Helen Barrett, produced
a well received publication which
became an important addition to
the libraries of those working in the
field of child development.
As part of our on-going work to
investigate best practice in service
commissioning, planning and
delivery, the Institute completed
two significant surveys into the
provision of family support in
Children’s Centres and Extended
Schools. Due to be published in
April 2007, alongside specially
written summaries aimed at
practitioners, these reports will
provide much needed insight into
this fast growing sector.
With funding from the Joseph
Rowntree Foundation, we published
Evaluating Evaluations; an objective
examination of the evaluation
methods used to asses the
effectiveness of Home Start, Sure
Start and the Primary Age Learning
Study. These findings were also
presented at a seminar which was
again funded by the Foundation.
For practitioners, we published
Children Talking about Brothers and
Sisters, a booklet which presented
the views of children aged between
seven and 13 about a range of
facets of their relationships with
their brothers and sisters showing
the everyday ups and downs of life
with siblings, drawing on children’s
own understandings as a source.
Finally, and in continuation of
our important strand of cultural
diversity, we published a new
edition of the highly regarded
Cultural Competence Toolkit and
in August will publish Religion and
Parenting Practice, a major review
of contemporary research on this
crucial topic.

Putting policy into practice
The Family and Parenting Institute works to produce innovative policy
which addresses the needs of the sector. We aim to give practitioners
the tools they need to support Britain’s families.
Parents’ Week 2006
Parents’ Week, our annual
awareness week, is the highlight
of our calendar. It has the dual aim
of promoting informed debate
about families and family support
and helping local family services
reach out to parents and build
local alliances for success.
This year’s theme was ‘Happy
Families’ and it examined the
various paths families take towards
happiness. This well received theme
saw 8000 resource packs, twice
as many as for Parents’ Week
2005, being distributed to Sure
Start projects, Children’s Centres,
libraries, local groups and more.
Along with Ipsos MORI, we carried
out a survey of parents examining
where they turned to for advice,
focusing specifically on the rise
of popular television parenting
programmes. Our subsequent
report ‘The Power of TV Parenting
Programmes – Help or Hazard for
Today’s Families?’ was launched
at the beginning of the week and
sparked a lively debate with press
coverage stretching as far afield
as the USA.
The Week was rounded off with
our traditional House of Commons
reception with guest speakers
Beverly Hughes MP and Dr Tanya
Byron. The reception is much
appreciated amongst colleagues
as a chance to meet and renew
old contacts, meet new colleagues
and celebrate achievements in
family policy.
Parent-Child 2006
“I do prefer to come to FPI
conferences as a priority as I
have always found them highly
professional and extremely
useful in terms of practice.”
Children’s Centre Manager
The Parent-Child Conference is
our biennial flagship international
conference which gives researchers,
policy makers, practitioners and
service providers the chance to
debate the cutting edge issues and
share knowledge and best practice
through debates and workshops.
This year’s conference, which
took place in November 2006,
saw 450 delegates packing out
the Connaught Rooms in London.
We were delighted to welcome
Minister for Children and Families,
Beverley Hughes MP and Leader
of the Opposition, David Cameron
MP to give the keynote addresses
and delegates enjoyed debating
a wealth of topics from world
renowned speakers and experts.
The Conference programme and
papers are available on our website
www.familyandparenting.org/
PC2006Papers
Informing and influencing policy
makers and the sector
When Government is legislating
for parents and families The
Family and Parenting Institute
plays a pivotal role in policy advice
and analysis and in bringing
together stakeholders from
Government and sector to move
key debates forward. We hosted a
round table discussion with Harriet
Harman, Minster for Justice,
on the controversial topic of
transparency in family courts and
the Families Interagency Group
(formerly the Family Policy Forum),
which is convened by the FPI,
meets regularly to discuss policy
issues. We are also represented
on over 70 government and other
advisory/steering groups. We
produced briefings, consultation
responses and discussion papers
covering a wide variety of policy
and practice areas including the
scope, role and implementation
of family services, the Social
Exclusion Task Force Families at
Risk Review, The Runnymede Trust
Faith Schools Consultation, Care
Matters, and the HM Treasury/
DfES Children and Young People
policy review. Our online policy
digest www.familyandparenting.org/
familyPolicyDigest provides
a monthly update on policy news
and updates.

The power of TV parenting
programmes
Last year the Family and
Parenting Institute launched
our new Business Development
Unit, combining the possibilities
for securing new and additional
funding for our work and offering
practitioners and policy makers
the opportunity of adding research
answers to their practice and
policy needs. We have offered
expert support to a wide range of
organisations and across a large
number of policy or practice areas,
for example,
•	Supporting the Government’s
RESPECT areas in developing
new evidence based parenting
services and support, reaching
the ‘hardest to help’
•	Developing the design and
delivery of useful and research
based parenting/family support
strategies for children’s services
departments
•	Assessing the evidence base for
parenting interventions
•	Supporting Youth Offending Teams
to embrace parenting issues fully
•	Researching what parents want,
from whom, when and how
• Enabling large organisations to
‘hear’ children’s and parents’ voices
•	Assessing the efficacy of family
support services in children’s
centres and extended schools
• Informing agencies about the
best ways of assisting parents in
supporting their children’s learning
and their children’s health
• Researching how well
commissioning services for families
works in rural areas
•	Developing national standards for
supervised contact services

are at risk of learning delay

Social innovation
One of the Family and Parenting Institute’s most important functions
is to think about innovative ways of providing services to parents and to
replicate and spread the learning from successful projects. We know that
parenting support can turn lives around and so we facilitate knowledge
sharing and promote new and exciting practices.
Transition Information
Sessions in Schools –
Starting School Project
Many families go through a rapid
adjustment phase as each child
starts school age five, then later
moves to secondary school age
eleven. There are few opportunities
to exchange information and share
experiences between parents and
schools, especially for families with
older children and adolescents.
Yet this kind of contact between
parents and schools can often be
the most reassuring at a time when
families may be uncertain about
what to expect.
The Starting School Project is
part of the wider Department for
Children, Schools and Families
Extended Schools Project. The
Family And Parenting Institute
was awarded a contract by DCSF
to plan and design pilot sessions
for this project. In pilot schools,
parents would come along for
hour long sessions to give them
information about the school and
other local services and lay the
foundations of a successful home/
school partnership.
As part of the Transition Information
Sessions project, we organised
a “Lessons Learned” event in
January 2007 in Birmingham (at
the Botanical Gardens) attended
by 80 delegates from the nine
local authorities who had taken
part in the Year one demonstration
project. The intention of this event
was to draw together key partners
involved in the first phase of the TIS
demonstration project, to share and
learn from experiences, hear about
the preliminary findings from the
independent evaluation, draw from
good practice and identify practical
and strategic issues that need to be
considered to ensure an effective
national roll-out to all schools.
Early Learning Partnership
Programme
“For me, this has been a lifeline. It
gets me out of the house and has
helped me to understand lots more
about my son as well as being a
chance to meet people”
Parents are children’s first and
most effective educators and when
parents have aspirations for their
children and engage actively with
them through conversation, reading
and play then their children are more
likely to have positive outcomes.
Sometimes, for whatever reasons,
parents may feel unable to do this
which can lead to children becoming
educationally disadvantaged.
Chronic poverty, mental health
problems, relationship problems,
conflict and harsh and inconsistent
discipline are among the factors that
can work against a positive home
learning environment.
In October 2006, the DfES awarded
the Family and Parenting Institute
a contract to lead a consortium of
seven voluntary agencies to deliver
the Early Learning Partnership
Project to deliver 12 complementary
tried and tested approaches in
20 localities in England. It will
demonstrate different approaches of
identifying and engaging with parents
of children aged 1-3 who are at risk
of learning delay and will support
them to get involved in their child’s
early learning.
The lead partners are: Barnardos,
ContinYou, Coram Family, FWA,
Home-Start, NCH and the Pre-
School Learning Alliance.
Parenting Fund
The Parenting Fund is run by the
Family and Parenting Institute on
behalf of the DCSF and exists to
•	Do more for parents who have
been less well served in the past.
For example: black and minority
ethnic parents, parents with
mental health problems, families
living with conflict, parents with
disabilities or who have children
with a disability
•	Strengthen the network of
services in the voluntary sector
that support parents in bringing
up their children
•	Highlight and promote good
practices so that they can be
used by all family and parent
support services.
Family  Parenting Institute Annual Report 06|07 09
Round One
October 2006 saw the successful
completion of Round One of the
Parenting Fund with 134 projects
supported.
Round One of the Parenting Fund
reached thousands of parents
across England who are facing
tough times - some because of
the death of a parent or child, some
because of disability, mental or
physical ill health, others because
of serious parenting difficulties.
We reached:
•	32,400 via direct work
with parents
•	9,200 via support to children
•	38,000 via support and advice
to practitioners
•	888,000 via information
for parents.
The final report on the Parenting
Fund’s first round is due for
publication in autumn 2007, but
there are already clear messages for
practitioners from our initial studies:
•	What is necessary is a flexible
approach to parenting support
which supports early interventions
but allows for longer term support
for families with complex and
entrenched difficulties
Case studies
Strengthening Families, Strengthening
Communities: North West
Run by the Racial Equality Unit and funded by the
Parenting Fund, this project trained 86 people from
43 organisations in the North West and delivered
17 programmes reaching more than 150 parents.
“I was having discipline issues with by two twin boys,
both aged six. So I went to the programme and
at the beginning I didn’t think it would be useful. I
thought ‘Surely they’ll just tell me about stuff I was
already doing. But by the end of the 12 weeks it
had changed my life”
Lone Parent, Manchester.
Winston’s Wish: Help for bereaved children
and their families
“How do you explain that Mum’s dead when
she doesn’t understand what death is?”
A child under 18 is bereaved of their parents every
30 minutes and between 4 per cent and 7 per cent
of all young people will experience the death of a
parent before they reach 18.
The Parenting Fund gave support to Winston’s Wish
to run a pilot project for bereaved pre-school children
and their parents which helped them come to terms
with and understand their loss.
Social innovation
•	Many parents helped by the
Parenting Fund projects had had
difficulty in accessing services
in the past, and reported real
change in their lives as a result
of the support they received.
Voluntary sector provision is
a crucial constituent of family
support and as such requires
investment
•	The Parenting Fund model
demonstrates that a well-
managed programme of funding
for the voluntary sector with
clearly defined objectives,
providing flexible support to grant
holders can achieve a significant
amount in a fairly limited time
period. A longer period of
funding would ensure services
could be more effectively
embedded into strategic
developments.
Round Two
Round Two of the Parenting Fund
launched in July 2006 and will run
until June 2008. There are two
major differences from Round One.
Firstly, the criteria have widened
and a whole family approach has
been adopted with an emphasis
on teenagers, the Respect Agenda
and relationship support. Of
course, promoting social inclusion
and improving access to services
and support for less well-served
communities remains a cornerstone
of the fund.
The second key difference is that
the Fund focuses on 23 different
localities working with local
organisations and no longer covers
regional and national projects.
Funded projects are still expected
to deliver learning and outcomes
that can be picked up nationally.
Initial reports and feedback suggest
that Round Two is running smoothly
and successfully with 50,000
parents expected to benefit.
Family and Parenting Institute staff
have been visiting projects across
England and continue to closely
monitor projects while still allowing
the autonomy necessary to make
these projects successful.
The Family and Parenting Institute
is grateful for the role of our partners,
PriceWaterhouseCooper for their
role in assessing initial applications
and for the hard work of the Grants
Panel and our Trustees in selecting
the successful applicants.

Family and Parenting Institute annual review 2006-07

  • 1. RESEARCH & POLICY for THE REAL WORLD Giving families a voice Annual Report 2006-2007
  • 2. We worry about crime and anti-social behaviour and about what sort of world our children will grow up in
  • 3. We know from history that the family has always been a most resilient institution. But we worry about how much it is under strain and about which policies offer most to families in our changing world. Public debate is highly contested. Every new initiative in parenting support is argued over; praised for replacing the ‘lost’ extended family; derided as another example of a ‘nanny’ state interfering but, nonetheless failing to tackle the ‘root’ causes of family breakdown. The high-volume debate means there is a lot of blame and guilt around. We need to get a clearer view of what is going on so we can have effective rather than sound-bite family policy. Most of all, we need to get a picture from families directly. The Family and Parenting Institute aims to listen to and learn from the experiences and views of families of all kinds across the country, and across the generations. Each family is unique but many concerns and desires are shared by every family. We want safe communities for our children; we want to be able to spend time with each other; we worry about crime and anti-social behaviour and about what sort of world our children will grow up in. Families can feel isolated, left to cope alone with problems they can’t handle by themselves. This shouldn’t be the case. So we work to make their voices heard in Government and locally, for example in schools, health services, and A message from our Chair and Chief Executive businesses. Through our forums, surveys, research, focus groups and discussions we listen to families and take those concerns to policy makers and opinion formers. More than this, we give parents the opportunity to put these concerns directly to politicians themselves. In this report you will read about our Meet the Parents events and the Parental Voice project; both ways of empowering parents and giving them forums to make themselves heard. But listening is not enough. We work with others to change the environment for families. We have pioneered the importance of family-friendly services and communities. We have argued for more responsible business practice in marketing to children, better employment practice and child care, for time to care. We have argued for more parenting and relationship services and brought voluntary organisations together to run innovative programmes reaching thousands of parents across England. With debate so heated, calm voices are necessary and so is space for honest debate. We work to promote resilience, the spread of knowledge and expertise. This is the opposite of finger-wagging or moralising; it’s the opposite of patronising parents or experts knowing best. It’s about acknowledging that being a parent and developing a happy family life is fundamentally important to people, that skills to enrich relationships are people’s right to know about and choose, and that government and the wider community have a role in making the UK a place where families thrive and have a future. This report will tell you more about the work we have done over the last year. We are proud of the work we do and we are proud of who we do it for. The Family and Parenting Institute was set up, as we turned the century, in the context of great anxiety about the family. That anxiety continues as we confront the painful facts of our lives together – children killed in unsafe streets and social inequalities still leaving poor children far behind. Fiona Millar Chair Mary MacLeod Chief Executive Family & Parenting Institute Annual Report 06|07 01
  • 4. Giving a voice to families Families are raising children in a challenging world. They tell us that they mainly look to friends and family for information and advice on meeting these challenges. But they also value help and advice on parenting from schools and children's centres, GPs and heath visitors. They say, though, that services to help them get the best out of relationships with their partners and their children or to assist if things go 'pear-shaped' are hard to find. Since its inception in 1999, the Family and Parenting Institute has been committed to giving families a voice and throughout last year we worked hard to make sure that these voices were heard at the very highest level. Parents’ Panel Our Parents’ Panel is made up of just under 250 parents from all across the UK. Recruited through our website and literature, panel members take part in our events and provide vital feedback on our work as well as speaking to decision-makers and the media about their own experiences as parents. Every single member of the Parents’ Panel plays an important part in our work and we would like once again to thank them for all that they do for us. Meet the Parents Last summer and autumn, the Family and Parenting Institute hosted three events where members of our Parents’ Panel had the chance to put questions about what mattered to them and their families to leading politicians. David Cameron, Alan Johnston and Sir Menzies Campbell all took part in lively discussions and parents were given a unique chance to make their voices heard. “It was great to get the chance to speak to them. Politicians don’t listen enough to ordinary parents” Parental Voice When Government is legislating for families and parents, parents should be recognised as key stakeholders and their views should be sought and listened to. The Family and Parenting Institute, in partnership with the National Consumer Council, has been working with the Department for Children, Schools and Families to explore how it can properly engage with parents. “You need to get parents involved and make them believe they can make a difference” Media Presence The Family and Parenting Institute continues to be the leading voice of authority on families and parenting issues. Notable highlights over the last year include our Parents’ Week coverage on TV parenting, Parent Child 2006 Conference coverage exploring Government’s role in supporting parents and Meet the Parents. We also continued to provide first class comment and analysis both nationally and internationally. “We don’t cherish our children enough” Sunday Post, February 2007 “Parents ‘rely on TV for advice’” BBC Online, October 2006 “Since its inception seven years ago, the Family and Parenting Institute has been working hard to gather together all academics, professionals, and activists concerned with family policy to discuss best practice” The Times, November 2006 02

  • 6. Seminars Progressive Inequality? Difficult Questions for the Next Decade, February 2007 This seminar, which we hosted on behalf of the Commission on Families and the Wellbeing of Children explored what can be done to tackle the growing inequalities in Britain. It examined issues such as the role of education, what the Government could do and what needs to be done to properly deliver on child poverty asking “Is a focus on child poverty appropriate, or is it deflecting attention from the economic trends that are resulting in increased inequality?” The Criminal Responsibility of Children and Their Parents, June 2006 This was also hosted on behalf of the Commission on Families and the Wellbeing of Children and looked at two issues at which the Commission had raised serious concerns; the age of criminal responsibility (one of the youngest in Europe) and the dual nature of youth offending affecting both parents and children. The seminar examined these difficult issues and considered ways by which the state can better support children who commit offences and their families while still protecting society from anti-social behaviour. Commission in Haste, Repent at Leisure? April 2006 Preventative services are difficult to evaluate and there is a sense in some quarters that we may be asking too much of this type of intervention, and consequently setting the bar too high in relation to the impact of preventative services on families. This seminar examined the issues surrounding Research for the real world The Family and Parenting Institute produces thought provoking research and policy. We host seminars, bringing together some of the leading authorities on family life and parenting issues and giving them platforms to debate and share ideas and our publications move forward debate and provide valuable tools for practitioners. 04
  • 7. Bringing together some of the leading authorities on family life and parenting issues and giving them platforms to debate and share ideas this crucial debate and asked if the increasing emphasis on using evaluative research to inform decision making in relation to supporting families and improving outcomes for children was responsible for the disappointing results so far. Publications “Children Talking about Brothers and Sisters is so refreshingly simple and very effective.” Over the last year, the Family and Parenting Institute has once more published thought-provoking and innovative reports, books and policy discussion papers covering a wide range of topics and ideas. Attachment and the Perils of Parenting was a major new review of the issues and debates round this theory. Drawing on historic and contemporary debates around John Bowlby’s often controversial theories and their development, the author, Dr Helen Barrett, produced a well received publication which became an important addition to the libraries of those working in the field of child development. As part of our on-going work to investigate best practice in service commissioning, planning and delivery, the Institute completed two significant surveys into the provision of family support in Children’s Centres and Extended Schools. Due to be published in April 2007, alongside specially written summaries aimed at practitioners, these reports will provide much needed insight into this fast growing sector. With funding from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, we published Evaluating Evaluations; an objective examination of the evaluation methods used to asses the effectiveness of Home Start, Sure Start and the Primary Age Learning Study. These findings were also presented at a seminar which was again funded by the Foundation. For practitioners, we published Children Talking about Brothers and Sisters, a booklet which presented the views of children aged between seven and 13 about a range of facets of their relationships with their brothers and sisters showing the everyday ups and downs of life with siblings, drawing on children’s own understandings as a source. Finally, and in continuation of our important strand of cultural diversity, we published a new edition of the highly regarded Cultural Competence Toolkit and in August will publish Religion and Parenting Practice, a major review of contemporary research on this crucial topic. Family & Parenting Institute Annual Report 06|07 05
  • 8. Putting policy into practice The Family and Parenting Institute works to produce innovative policy which addresses the needs of the sector. We aim to give practitioners the tools they need to support Britain’s families. Parents’ Week 2006 Parents’ Week, our annual awareness week, is the highlight of our calendar. It has the dual aim of promoting informed debate about families and family support and helping local family services reach out to parents and build local alliances for success. This year’s theme was ‘Happy Families’ and it examined the various paths families take towards happiness. This well received theme saw 8000 resource packs, twice as many as for Parents’ Week 2005, being distributed to Sure Start projects, Children’s Centres, libraries, local groups and more. Along with Ipsos MORI, we carried out a survey of parents examining where they turned to for advice, focusing specifically on the rise of popular television parenting programmes. Our subsequent report ‘The Power of TV Parenting Programmes – Help or Hazard for Today’s Families?’ was launched at the beginning of the week and sparked a lively debate with press coverage stretching as far afield as the USA. The Week was rounded off with our traditional House of Commons reception with guest speakers Beverly Hughes MP and Dr Tanya Byron. The reception is much appreciated amongst colleagues as a chance to meet and renew old contacts, meet new colleagues and celebrate achievements in family policy. Parent-Child 2006 “I do prefer to come to FPI conferences as a priority as I have always found them highly professional and extremely useful in terms of practice.” Children’s Centre Manager The Parent-Child Conference is our biennial flagship international conference which gives researchers, policy makers, practitioners and service providers the chance to debate the cutting edge issues and share knowledge and best practice through debates and workshops. This year’s conference, which took place in November 2006, saw 450 delegates packing out the Connaught Rooms in London. We were delighted to welcome Minister for Children and Families, Beverley Hughes MP and Leader of the Opposition, David Cameron MP to give the keynote addresses and delegates enjoyed debating a wealth of topics from world renowned speakers and experts. The Conference programme and papers are available on our website www.familyandparenting.org/ PC2006Papers Informing and influencing policy makers and the sector When Government is legislating for parents and families The Family and Parenting Institute plays a pivotal role in policy advice and analysis and in bringing together stakeholders from Government and sector to move key debates forward. We hosted a round table discussion with Harriet Harman, Minster for Justice, on the controversial topic of transparency in family courts and the Families Interagency Group (formerly the Family Policy Forum), which is convened by the FPI, meets regularly to discuss policy issues. We are also represented on over 70 government and other advisory/steering groups. We produced briefings, consultation responses and discussion papers covering a wide variety of policy and practice areas including the scope, role and implementation of family services, the Social Exclusion Task Force Families at Risk Review, The Runnymede Trust Faith Schools Consultation, Care Matters, and the HM Treasury/ DfES Children and Young People policy review. Our online policy digest www.familyandparenting.org/ familyPolicyDigest provides a monthly update on policy news and updates. 06
  • 9. The power of TV parenting programmes Last year the Family and Parenting Institute launched our new Business Development Unit, combining the possibilities for securing new and additional funding for our work and offering practitioners and policy makers the opportunity of adding research answers to their practice and policy needs. We have offered expert support to a wide range of organisations and across a large number of policy or practice areas, for example, • Supporting the Government’s RESPECT areas in developing new evidence based parenting services and support, reaching the ‘hardest to help’ • Developing the design and delivery of useful and research based parenting/family support strategies for children’s services departments • Assessing the evidence base for parenting interventions • Supporting Youth Offending Teams to embrace parenting issues fully • Researching what parents want, from whom, when and how • Enabling large organisations to ‘hear’ children’s and parents’ voices • Assessing the efficacy of family support services in children’s centres and extended schools • Informing agencies about the best ways of assisting parents in supporting their children’s learning and their children’s health • Researching how well commissioning services for families works in rural areas • Developing national standards for supervised contact services Working with practitioners Family Parenting Institute Annual Report 06|07 07
  • 10. Identifying and engaging with parents of children aged 1-3 who are at risk of learning delay 08
  • 11. Social innovation One of the Family and Parenting Institute’s most important functions is to think about innovative ways of providing services to parents and to replicate and spread the learning from successful projects. We know that parenting support can turn lives around and so we facilitate knowledge sharing and promote new and exciting practices. Transition Information Sessions in Schools – Starting School Project Many families go through a rapid adjustment phase as each child starts school age five, then later moves to secondary school age eleven. There are few opportunities to exchange information and share experiences between parents and schools, especially for families with older children and adolescents. Yet this kind of contact between parents and schools can often be the most reassuring at a time when families may be uncertain about what to expect. The Starting School Project is part of the wider Department for Children, Schools and Families Extended Schools Project. The Family And Parenting Institute was awarded a contract by DCSF to plan and design pilot sessions for this project. In pilot schools, parents would come along for hour long sessions to give them information about the school and other local services and lay the foundations of a successful home/ school partnership. As part of the Transition Information Sessions project, we organised a “Lessons Learned” event in January 2007 in Birmingham (at the Botanical Gardens) attended by 80 delegates from the nine local authorities who had taken part in the Year one demonstration project. The intention of this event was to draw together key partners involved in the first phase of the TIS demonstration project, to share and learn from experiences, hear about the preliminary findings from the independent evaluation, draw from good practice and identify practical and strategic issues that need to be considered to ensure an effective national roll-out to all schools. Early Learning Partnership Programme “For me, this has been a lifeline. It gets me out of the house and has helped me to understand lots more about my son as well as being a chance to meet people” Parents are children’s first and most effective educators and when parents have aspirations for their children and engage actively with them through conversation, reading and play then their children are more likely to have positive outcomes. Sometimes, for whatever reasons, parents may feel unable to do this which can lead to children becoming educationally disadvantaged. Chronic poverty, mental health problems, relationship problems, conflict and harsh and inconsistent discipline are among the factors that can work against a positive home learning environment. In October 2006, the DfES awarded the Family and Parenting Institute a contract to lead a consortium of seven voluntary agencies to deliver the Early Learning Partnership Project to deliver 12 complementary tried and tested approaches in 20 localities in England. It will demonstrate different approaches of identifying and engaging with parents of children aged 1-3 who are at risk of learning delay and will support them to get involved in their child’s early learning. The lead partners are: Barnardos, ContinYou, Coram Family, FWA, Home-Start, NCH and the Pre- School Learning Alliance. Parenting Fund The Parenting Fund is run by the Family and Parenting Institute on behalf of the DCSF and exists to • Do more for parents who have been less well served in the past. For example: black and minority ethnic parents, parents with mental health problems, families living with conflict, parents with disabilities or who have children with a disability • Strengthen the network of services in the voluntary sector that support parents in bringing up their children • Highlight and promote good practices so that they can be used by all family and parent support services. Family Parenting Institute Annual Report 06|07 09
  • 12. Round One October 2006 saw the successful completion of Round One of the Parenting Fund with 134 projects supported. Round One of the Parenting Fund reached thousands of parents across England who are facing tough times - some because of the death of a parent or child, some because of disability, mental or physical ill health, others because of serious parenting difficulties. We reached: • 32,400 via direct work with parents • 9,200 via support to children • 38,000 via support and advice to practitioners • 888,000 via information for parents. The final report on the Parenting Fund’s first round is due for publication in autumn 2007, but there are already clear messages for practitioners from our initial studies: • What is necessary is a flexible approach to parenting support which supports early interventions but allows for longer term support for families with complex and entrenched difficulties Case studies Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities: North West Run by the Racial Equality Unit and funded by the Parenting Fund, this project trained 86 people from 43 organisations in the North West and delivered 17 programmes reaching more than 150 parents. “I was having discipline issues with by two twin boys, both aged six. So I went to the programme and at the beginning I didn’t think it would be useful. I thought ‘Surely they’ll just tell me about stuff I was already doing. But by the end of the 12 weeks it had changed my life” Lone Parent, Manchester. Winston’s Wish: Help for bereaved children and their families “How do you explain that Mum’s dead when she doesn’t understand what death is?” A child under 18 is bereaved of their parents every 30 minutes and between 4 per cent and 7 per cent of all young people will experience the death of a parent before they reach 18. The Parenting Fund gave support to Winston’s Wish to run a pilot project for bereaved pre-school children and their parents which helped them come to terms with and understand their loss. Social innovation • Many parents helped by the Parenting Fund projects had had difficulty in accessing services in the past, and reported real change in their lives as a result of the support they received. Voluntary sector provision is a crucial constituent of family support and as such requires investment • The Parenting Fund model demonstrates that a well- managed programme of funding for the voluntary sector with clearly defined objectives, providing flexible support to grant holders can achieve a significant amount in a fairly limited time period. A longer period of funding would ensure services could be more effectively embedded into strategic developments. Round Two Round Two of the Parenting Fund launched in July 2006 and will run until June 2008. There are two major differences from Round One. Firstly, the criteria have widened and a whole family approach has been adopted with an emphasis on teenagers, the Respect Agenda and relationship support. Of course, promoting social inclusion and improving access to services and support for less well-served communities remains a cornerstone of the fund. The second key difference is that the Fund focuses on 23 different localities working with local organisations and no longer covers regional and national projects. Funded projects are still expected to deliver learning and outcomes that can be picked up nationally. Initial reports and feedback suggest that Round Two is running smoothly and successfully with 50,000 parents expected to benefit. Family and Parenting Institute staff have been visiting projects across England and continue to closely monitor projects while still allowing the autonomy necessary to make these projects successful. The Family and Parenting Institute is grateful for the role of our partners, PriceWaterhouseCooper for their role in assessing initial applications and for the hard work of the Grants Panel and our Trustees in selecting the successful applicants. 10
