Children's centres
We believe that Children's Centres offer a relaxed setting and are used by the Parents and Children who will most benefit from the programme.
From Autumn 2010, Parents on benefits will need to be available for work once their youngest child is seven, and Parents on benefits who have children aged 3-6 will need to be undertaking work-related activity. Children's Centres that embrace a role of supporting parents back to work will find Take three days helps them do two important things: firstly, we deliver the support that parents need to make the transition towards work; and secondly, we act as a catalyst to build a broad and effective local partnership. We know that Stay and Play co-ordinators, Family Support workers and Community engagement teams are all important in supporting parents.
We would be very happy to talk to you about how your Children's Centre can support parents move into work, education and training. And you can find out about our specialists training for Children’s Centre Staff here.
