Funding round
We provide a support service for the parents or carers of pupils from Darwen Vale, Darwen Moorland and Blakewater College and for pupils in transition from primary to these secondary schools who risk antisocial behaviour. We will be offering group and one to one interventions. . Beneficiaries will be identified initially through schools Inclusion Panels, then through wider referral.
Our objectives are to:
- Reduce antisocial behaviour amongst targeted group
- Increase parental involvement in children/young people's education
- Increase quality of family relationships and improve family's problem solving skills
We have strong a partnership with Darwen Moorland and Darwen Vale & Blakewater College from our work in Round 1 of the Parenting Fund. In Round 2 we are working in partnership with Blackburn Diocese Board for Social Responsibility which will provide parent mentors to work alongside our parent support workers in one to one work. The volunteer mentors recruited and trained by BSR will continue to support parents after the formal intervention by CANW Parent Support Workers has ended. Parents supported by mentors will have the opportunity to become mentors themselves.
