Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from the purpose include improvements in family communication, increased parental self-esteem and satisfaction and a reduction in family conflict and stress. Indirect benefits include greater community cohesion as parents generally develop mutually supportive relationships through the experience of participating in a
parenting group process. These benefits are demonstrated through pre- and post-evaluation of parental perceptions of children’s behaviour, using standardised and non-standardised measures, and qualitative feedback from programme participants and facilitators. Increased awareness of why children misbehave can be challenging for parents and provoke, among a few, a more pessimistic self-assessment of their family situation. However the skills they learn through Family Caring Trust’s programmes give them resources with which to address these challenges. The vast majority appear to experience wholly positive results. The beneficiaries of this purpose are the section of the general public which comprises families, with low to moderate support needs, who are raising children aged 0-6, 5-12 and in the teenage years. We are aware that a few of those who purchase our programmes to deliver with parents, charge those parents to attend. This is not a matter over which we have any control.
