Organisations should have experience in family support, early years, or community-based interventions, and the capacity to release staff or volunteers for training.
This opportunity is targeted at services already engaged with families and managing caseloads within North Northamptonshire, ensuring the seamless implementation of evidence-based parenting programmes within established governance frameworks. The goal is to empower professionals to provide high-quality, evidence-based parenting support to families in North Northamptonshire, fostering stronger outcomes for children and parents across the region.
Successful applicants will gain free access to accredited training and grant funding of up to £10,000 per organisation per training programme. This funding is designed to support service delivery and related activities.
Training spaces will be available for 5-10 participants per organisation, depending on suitability and capacity to deliver effectively.
Each successful organisation will receive:
• Access to accredited training in one of the specified programmes
• A grant of up to £10,000 to support participation, preparation, and implementation
• Guidance and coordination from the Family Hubs team to ensure alignment with local delivery plans
• Access to shared resources and learning networks within the Family Hubs parenting workstream
Organisations are welcome to submit multiple bids if they wish to access training in the different parenting support interventions: Triple P for Baby, Triple P Stepping Stones, and the Solihull Approach. For each bid, they should provide evidence of how they will reach and engage diverse community groups through a broad and inclusive offer.
Successful organisations will be expected to:
• Identify up to five practitioners to undertake the training and subsequent delivery
• Participate in pre- and post-training engagement sessions with the Family Hubs team
• Deliver sessions in line with programme fidelity and safeguarding requirements
• Contribute to local monitoring and evaluation through data returns and feedback forms
• Work collaboratively with Family Action, Family Hub staff, and other local partners to ensure consistent delivery
