Partnership For Change
Coproduction and feasibility randomised controlled trial of Infant, Parent Support (IPS) to improve the mental health of children with a social worker
"Powered by the people who have lived it"
Parent Collaborators
The parent collaborators play a key part throughout the study, bringing experience of past/present involvement of social work and using that to help improve services for families.
We are developing the IPS (Infant, Parent Support) intervention in a co-produced way between professionals and those with lived experience in the hope that we can show that this approach can be hugely beneficial for both families and service providers. We are looking to break down barriers and increase trust between the various stakeholders.
Moving forward, we hope this approach will be used more widely, allowing more research to benefit from the rich variety of experiences that parent collaborators bring to the process. We intend to show that this improves the effectiveness of support for families, benefiting those who really matter, the children at the heart of this work.
