A pilot study of the Incredible Years BASIC parenting programme with bereaved families

Hannah‐Jane Braiden; Benny McDaniel; Joseph Duffy; Monica McCann

2011 Journal of Children's Services

doi: 10.1108/17466661111176015

Purpose – Bereaved parents often face the complex situation of managing their own grief while parenting bereaved children who are at increased risk of social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. The current evaluation was a pilot study aimed at determining the feasibility of the Incredible Years (IY) BASIC parenting programme as an intervention for bereaved families. Design/methodology/approach – A total of seven parents of children (aged four to 12) participated in a 12‐week IY BASIC parenting programme. Participants completed a range of pre‐intervention, post‐intervention, six month follow‐up measures and semi‐structured interviews. Findings – The results showed statistically significant reductions in parental stress, parental wellbeing, child behaviour problems, and grief. Originality/value – There is strong evidence for the effectiveness of IY with diverse parenting populations but this is the first known study of the programme with bereaved families. The findings support its use with such families where child behaviour is a concern.

Conceptualising care for childhood obesity: a three‐world view

Keeley J. Pratt; Angela L. Lamson; Suzanne Lazorick; Carmel Parker White; David N. Collier; Mark B. White; Melvin S. Swanson

2011 Journal of Children's Services

doi: 10.1108/17466661111176024

Purpose – This review paper seeks to conceptualise childhood obesity through clinical, operational, and financial procedures. It informs multiple disciplines about: the trajectory of paediatric obesity and current recommendations; the trends in the clinical, administrative/policy and financial worlds of paediatric obesity; and discusses commonly misunderstood collaborative terms. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is based on analysis of national and international policy documents and research papers in the field. Findings – Paediatric obesity treatment teams, programmes, and providers could all benefit from a document that bridges the disciplines of medicine, other professions, and financial management. A family centred, multidisciplinary approach is necessary at all stages of obesity treatment care and the three‐world model discussed is helpful in achieving this. The clinical, operational, and financial aspects of the service need to be integrated in a way that reduces the barriers to accessing services. Originality/value – The paper combines perspectives from different service sectors: clinical, operational, and financial. To facilitate interdisciplinary cooperation, it offers common definitions of terms that often have different meanings for those involved.

Devolution and change since the Children Act 1989: new directions in Wales

Andrew Pithouse

2011 Journal of Children's Services

doi: 10.1108/17466661111176033

Purpose – This paper aims to critically examine the idea that devolution in Wales, compared with England, brings a decisive shift in the delivery of children's services and, by extension, challenges our assumption that the Children Act 1989 remains as a primary unifying force in child welfare legislation. Design/methodology/approach – The paper primarily addresses those matters pertaining to public law under parts III‐V of the Act that give force to core functions within the personal social services in Wales and England. It looks at the Act from the viewpoint of devolution in Wales. Findings – The evolution of services, new policy frameworks and changes to the UK political architecture since the implementation of the Act have transformed the delivery of children's services. The 1989 Act remains prominent but such changes have brought a very different shape and purpose to the occupational world in which the Act was first launched in Wales and England. Originality/value – The paper shows that it is much less clear if the 1989 Act can be “read off” today – as perhaps it could when it was first enacted – as an inclusive encoding of what local authorities and their partners should and must do for children.

Designing effective interventions for working parents: a web‐based survey of parents in the UK workforce

Matthew R. Sanders; Divna M. Haslam; Rachel Calam; Clare Southwell; Helen M. Stallman

2011 Journal of Children's Services

doi: 10.1108/17466661111176042

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine working parents' experiences and attitudes and to determine if these differ according to gender. Three areas were investigated: level of reported difficulties in parenting and balancing work and family; parental perceptions about the workplace as a context for the delivery of parenting support; and employee preferences for intervention features. Design/methodology/approach – In total, 721 employed parents in the UK were recruited via their organisation and completed a web‐based survey. Findings – A total of 41 percent of parents reported their children had significant behaviour problems and 85 percent stated that worksite parenting interventions should be made available. A clear preference was found for evidence‐based interventions delivered by trained practitioners. The vast majority of men (86 percent) and women (90 percent) reported they would attend a workplace parenting intervention if one were available. Originality/value – The need to tailor programmes to the needs of parents is increasingly accepted. This paper analyses the potential for tailoring an evidence‐based programme for parents in the workplace. It suggests that the provision of workplace parenting programmes may benefit the organisation and the individual and increase parental access to services.
