Abstract
The Parent Early Intervention Pathfinder is an initiative to fund local authorities (LAs) to
implement one of three selected parenting programmes: Triple P, Webster-Stratton
Incredible Years and Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities. The three
programmes were selected by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) following a
review of available programmes.
The Pathfinder funds 15 LAs (5 per programme) as the core group. In addition, three funded
and thee (now two) non-funded comparison LAs are in the study. These are spread across
England. The programme started in the summer of 2006 and is due to end by 31 March
2008. This evaluation started in September 2006 and the final report is due by the end of
March, 2008. The Pathfinder is designed to provide parenting programmes but underlying
the rationale is the need to influence positively the behaviour of the children. The Pathfinder
is designed to focus on children aged 8-13 years, although it is recognized that the benefits
of improved parenting may influence younger and older siblings in the family. The severity
of the children’s problems, and whether parents voluntarily seek the support of the
programme or are required to attend, are potentially key elements in how the programmes
operate.
This 1st Interim Report covers the period from September 2006 to February 2007. It focuses
mainly on interviews with LA lead officers. In addition, reference is also made to other
relevant matters of importance, including the development of the national evaluation.
