The project is comprised of three strands:



1. A parent support programme where parents with lived experience are trained and supported to be Parent Champions who will then provide support and training to other parents on how to navigate the education system, school exclusions and how to advocate for their children.

2. A father’s programme where our trained Champions provide community-based support and training specifically for fathers to ensure they too have the support and information required to navigate educational systems.

3. There is also a Parent Champions forum where Champions work alongside schools and the local authority to feedback themes from the parent support programmes to challenge and influence practice. The long-term plan is to get parents to be part of the VRP (Violence Reduction Partnership) network and meetings. This will be done via the lead agency.
