WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Alison O'Sullivan President of the Association of Directors of Childrens Services 2015 - 2016

Blog talking about the Pillars of Parenting

I am delighted that we have now managed to put POP (The Pillars of Parenting) firmly in to the fabric of our authority, as the care model we offer staff and carers to work with children. I continue to get feedback from staff about how POP has changed their working practices and perception of the children they care for and this is evidenced in the good and outstanding Ofsted ratings we have for our children’s homes.
Local Authority senior officer

I would actually say that the development of the residential estate in Hampshire and the Pillars of Parenting care model being adopted by the staff in the homes has been a highlight in my career. I now feel confident that children in our children’s homes receive the quality of care they deserve and need, recognising the trauma they have experienced. The care is also being delivered by people who feel confident in the way they care for children and demonstrate ambition for them.

Without this form of support, I don’t think the teams could cope with the emotionally challenging events that they face. (26-02-18)

Head of Residential Care (Children and Families)

The Pillars of Parenting has enabled me as a carer to have more self-reflection on how I deal with my looked-after child and his behaviour due to his trauma and neglect and given me the confidence to work with other professionals with my new knowledge. I would highly recommend POP to all foster carers. Working with our own PoP psychologist and the workshops have been invaluable and sharing our experiences.

Ellie (Foster Parent)

This course has still made a massive positive change to my own practice. The knowledge base around the Pillars of Parenting ethos has enabled me to understand my children and YP’s behaviour and for myself to reflect on how I can support this in the most positive way.

Michelle (Foster Parent)

 

Connection with other Carers. Growth of knowledge. The passion with which the course is delivered gives us skills to parent these children.
