💬 Our Advisory Group brought a wealth of knowledge to the development of the #ParentingThroughAdversity (11-18) Practice Guide. Two members – Emma from @StockportMBC & Christine from @TelfordWrekin – reflect on the importance of transforming this evidence into practice 👇 bit.ly/3XTNoOx
A Foundations branded quote card with an image of Emma Ford, Programme Director at The North West Multi Agency Learning & Support Hub, and member of the Advisory Group for the Parenting Through Adversity (11–18) Practice Guide. Emma has very light blonde, slightly wavy hair that hangs just above her shoulders, worn in a centre parting. Emma has pale skin and wears a light pink polo neck jumper, glasses with beige-coloured frames and a bright pink lipstick. Emma's quote reads: "For parenting support to be effective, it is vital that practitioners remain open and curious. This Practice Guide encourages practitioners to be flexible, adapting the intensity and the frequency of support to each family's needs, to improve outcomes for parents of children and young people aged 11–18. The advisory group on this Parenting Through Adversity (11–18) Practice Guide has helped to ensure that the evidence is translated into practical and relevant guidance to support practice improvement."

Christine has medium-blonde, straight hair, light slightly freckled skin and blue eyes.She is smiling brightly. Christine's quote reads: "All behaviour means something – it is a form of communication from the child or young person. We wanted to place this understanding at the forefront of this Practice Guide, and support practice that understands family dynamics rather than manages them. This is an important factor when engaging with families to support them through challenging situations, and this Practice Guide provides practitioners with key principles to ensure practice aligns with the best available evidence."

The evidence in the new #ParentingThroughAdversity (11-18) Practice Guide aligns strongly with @youthendowmentfund.org.uk's violence prevention mission – as highlighted by their research manager, Freya, who was a key member of the Advisory Group.

A Foundations branded quote card, featuring an image of Freya Glendinning, Senior Research Manager at the Youth Endowment Fund. The image shows Freya, who has long medium-blonde hair, light skin and blue eyes. Quote reads: "This practice guide is a really welcome contribution. It brings together a helpful summary of the evidence showing that evidence-based parenting support can improve family functioning, strengthen parent–child relationships and reduce behaviours that challenge. This aligns strongly with the Youth Endowment Fund’s mission to build and use evidence to prevent children becoming involved in violence, particularly by ensuring families facing adversity have access to effective support as early as possible. We know that behaviours that challenge, if left unsupported, can increase children’s vulnerability to later involvement in violence, so ensuring the availability and quality of parenting support is crucial."
