Parenting Practitioners

A Parenting Practitioner employed by the Council, works with parents and carers to prevent young people committing anti-social behaviour. They are able to refer families to appropriate one to one and group parenting programmes and offer support by linking families with other agencies. They either run these programmes themselves or refer out to other agencies if more appropriate.

Parenting Practitioners can also advise on appropriate support or enforcement for parents who have been contacted by the Anti-Social Behaviour Team. They help to generally improve parenting provision and build respect in the communities of Southampton.
