To apply for training places the Academy requires a completed service manager application form for each specific service, approved by the relevant Parenting Commissioner, which details the individual practitioners who are being proposed for training. At the same time we also need a completed personal applicant details form for each individual named.
Voluntary sector organisations which have plans to deliver evidence based parenting groups but are not linked to a local service or a local plan, and would like to discuss direct access to Academy training, should complete the voluntary sector training form.

Individual practitioners should contact their local parenting commissioner through their service managers.
