Review of Capacity in the Parenting Support Market

Provider DCSF
Topics Joint planning and commissioning; Parents, carers and families
Type Research
Date May 2007
Region Not Applicable

This study increases our understanding of the parenting support market by exploring barriers to market development. It also looks at developing services in children's centres and extended schools, and the option of charging for services.

Interviews were undertaken with commissioning staff from four local authorities and providers at local and national level, along with employers and employee benefits advisors.

Research concerning charging involved desk research, telephone interviews and a workshop between the DfES, Government Offices and parent support organisations.
