All our Facilitators are parents or carers who have been trained and approved through a comprehensive facilitation training program. Facilitators work on a freelance basis, though many combine this with paid employment in the public and private sectors. They come from all walks of life and each one has personally attended our core parenting course.
What do we expect from our Facilitators?
We pride ourselves on the exceptional quality of our courses and facilitation. Consequently, we carefully select, train and support our Facilitators to ensure:
- Empathetic, non-judgemental approach to supporting others thorough personal change
- Outstanding communication and group working skills
- A willingness to sensitively and appropriately challenge unhelpful attitudes or behaviours
- The ability to communicate and maintain personal and group boundaries
- A commitment to ongoing personal and professional development and the ability to engage in reflective practice
- A high standard of professional conduct and reflective practice at all times

We have recently delivered our Parenting For All Development award to 30 new facilitators. We now have trainee facilitators in Shetland, Highlands and Island, Glasgow and Renfrewshire. All of our facilitators are embarking on our Endorsed Award to become fully trained Facilitators so this means even more courses which is good news for Parent Network and the parents of Scotland.
