Promoting and Enhancing Parenting

Assessment 2:  Guidelines for 2,500 word Report.

This assessment will take the form of a report. The report will compare and contrast two parenting programmes, identifying one as most useful to support a particular parenting population.

This report will be composed of the following key sections

1. To introduce the report and to provide a very brief and concise review of the case study described in your assessment 1 submission with particular attention to the objectives which a parenting programme could meet.

2. To show an understanding of the values and aims of the current Scottish Government’s Parenting Strategy in light of recent significant legislation/publications.

3. Compare and contrast two parenting programmes in terms of their capacity to meet the objectives set out in section one.  This section should further explore the emotional and social issues that influence these particular parenting programmes. It should outline its delivery style, its target group and other features of the programme and investigate how well these match the needs of the parenting group. 

You must be able to critically analyse each programme in relation to its ability to meet the needs/objectives of the parenting population.  Continually refer back to the original objectives and the values and aims teased from the current Government agenda in order to justify the decisions you are making.

This section should end with a conclusion identifying the selected programme and the reasons why your particular choice of programme is optimal for your family. This should also include a brief analysis of the proposal for how the application and effectiveness of the programme will be evaluated.

1. Remember to provide an overall conclusion for your report.

1. As ever your work must be appropriately referenced.
