I have been a volunteer for Sure Start in Newark for a while and I was asked if I would be interested in joining a course to train to become a parent group leader on local 'Being a Parent' courses, courses that are run by volunteer parents for parents. The courses are part of the EPEC (Empowering Parents Empowering Communities) scheme that is now being rolled out in Notts. The PGL (Parent Group Leader) course I joined was the second such course in the county. Nine of us have just completed the training which has run on Fridays for the last 10 weeks, and we are now ready to begin leading courses ourselves in the new year!
The first part of the training was the actual 'Being a Parent' course and the second part covered how to facilitate a course. Having completed it, I now wonder how I managed to survive parenthood without the course!
