Funded Accreditation Opportunity for Practitioners

We have a funded accreditation opportunity that you might be interested in.

Parents Plus are offering funded Accreditation places for a limited number of practitioners (8 places in total) to complete the Accreditation process in the programme that they are trained in and deliver in their service.

The Accreditation is an additional piece of practice development CPD for trained facilitators who want to take their practice up a level and ensure the best outcomes for their families.

Benefits to you in gaining Accreditation include:

• Being licensed to deliver the Parents Plus programmes independently.
• Opportunity to work as a Parents Plus Supervisor to support other facilitators.
• A major CPD achievement as a practitioner which is recognised by a range of professional bodies.

The steps to becoming an Accredited Parents Plus facilitator are:

1. Having completed Parents Plus facilitator training for the selected programme.

2. Facilitate at least two Parents Plus groups, following the Parents Plus Quality Protocol (including using session protocols, parent goals, session ratings and evaluations).

3. Complete the Parents Plus Supervision process, which involves a minimum of 4 supervision sessions during accreditation including video reviews of your parent group delivery.

4. Submit a practice portfolio for review by Parents Plus.

If you are planning programmes this year and are interested in taking part in this initiative, please complete and submit the short application form via the button below and we will be in touch with you to discuss it further.

Contact Dr Eileen Brosnan, Head of Practice and Implementation at  eileen@parentsplus.ie if you have any further queries.

We particularly welcome applications from co-facilitating pairs. Closing date for applications is Friday Feb 2nd 2024.
