The Commissioning Toolkit of Parenting Programmes is a searchable database of parenting interventions designed to provide information and guidance for commissioners, service managers and practitioners on the quality and effectiveness of over 100 parenting programmes/approaches.

Programmes on the Toolkit have been put forward for inclusion by programme developers, and the information about each programme has been supplied by the developers themselves. It does not contain every programme currently in use in England but it is hoped that the database will eventually publish details of more than 200 national and international programmes.

The Toolkit is a free resource.

This section provides guidance on using the Toolkit for
