Model of Working
Parents Advice Centre's (PAC) Parenting Project is committed to promoting positive parenting through education programmes and the dissemination of information.
The work of the Parenting Project is continually evaluated to ensure that our courses are of a high standard and quality.
One of the key principles underpinning the Parenting Project's work, is the importance of the empowerment of parents and professionals working in the field of family work, through increased knowledge, skills, understanding, and awareness. |

Confidence-building parenting courses, which address children’s developmental needs, can be the catalyst for a parent’s self-directed change.
The Parenting Project uses a Person-Centred Approach to those that we work alongside. This is based upon equality within this relationship, and the belief that group members can maximise their potential in a climate of respect, non-judgemental acceptance and congruence. If group members can feel accepted in this way, it becomes easier for them to look at their own attitudes, beliefs, feelings and behaviours.
