Take three days is a proven approach that gives parents the confidence to return to work, education and training.

It is run in Children's Centres, extended schools and community venues with high quality crèche provision; all places parents find encouraging, and where young children get the benefit of high quality childcare – often for the first time. This helps Centres and Schools fulfill their commitment to supporting families from workless households.

Our skilled facilitators create a motivating and inspiring three-day programme. We collaborate with local Children's Information Services, Jobcentre Plus, Employers and Training Providers to help parents implement their individual action plan. Specialist support is available for lone parents, including advice on the New Deal for Lone Parents (NDLP) and soon the Flexible New Deal.

Funding comes from a range of sources including Jobcentre Plus, Regeneration programmes, Local Authorities, and Children's Centres themselves. And we can help you put together a funding package.

We can also train your staff to deliver the programme, and advise you on how to make your own support programmes work better for parents.
