Early Help Parenting Programmes

Please make a referral via their online form.

In partnership with schools, children’s centres and the community and voluntary sector, Newham offers a range of programmes, workshops and online resources for parents to access for free. A list of all available programmes are detailed on their website with a short description.

Newham is currently developing a parenting strategy with key services to improve our existing parenting offer of evidenced-based programmes, ensuring that there are parenting resources available across the age range from pregnancy right up to 18 years of age.

Our existing Parenting Facilitators have a significant wealth of experience in delivering parenting groups and one to one parenting interventions to support parents/carers in their important and critical role.

Please complete the online parenting referral form on this page. We accept both self-referrals and professional referrals. Once submitted, you will receive a response from the Parenting Team within 3 working days.
