We were able to recruit and train 25 facilitators to deliver the programme across three sites in cycle one.
25 early-years practitioners were identified to be trained in the PwB programme in three local authorities: Derby, Shropshire and Cumberland. They were signed up by our local authority contacts to deliver the programme, with some putting forward names from their own teams/services and others advertising the programme to other services within their local authority.
The majority of facilitators were play or parenting practitioners, all working in early-years services eg, children’s centres, Family Hubs, libraries.
Of the 25 facilitators trained:
- 21 were allocated families to work with in the study (9 from Derby, 10 from Shropshire and 2 from Cumberland)
- 12 facilitators completed the programme with at least one family (2 from Derby, 8 from Shropshire and 2 from Cumberland).
