Family Action is pleased to be a member of the Action for Children led Department for Education Growing Our Strengths Project coalition, with Action for Prisoners Families and the Family and Parenting Institute.
Growing Our Strengths is a two-year programme to champion best practice, celebrate innovation and share our understanding of what works best, why and how we measure what we achieve.
A key element of the programme is for us to work closely with the diverse range of voluntary and community sector organisations working so hard to make a difference to children, families and young people.
Growing Our Strengths will showcase examples of best practice as well as bringing Voluntary and Community sector organisations in a series of workshops across England. The coalition will work to develop the capacity and expertise of local providers of evidence-based interventions (including parenting programmes) for vulnerable families.
By the end of the programme, we will have created an online ‘advice’ store, using best practice to provide practical information about improving outcomes. We will have created a strong knowledge base about what works and shared that learning through workshops and practical self-assessment and guidance tools.
