Project
Parents as Partners
Funding
£1.7m for this financial year from the Department for Work and Pensions' Relationship Support and Innovation Fund
Background
Parents as Partners is the UK version of a successful US parenting programme developed by University of California, Berkeley psychology professors Philip and Carolyn Cowan.
It was launched here in 2012 by the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships (TCCR) and the charity Family Action with support from the Cowans and funding from the Department for Education.
It has been running in the London boroughs of Lewisham, Southwark, Camden, Hackney, Islington and Westminster, as well as in Manchester.
The programme had been extensively evaluated in the US and the partners have since assessed its effectiveness for UK couples.
