  • EYs Social Prescribing | LPCC

    Early Years Social Prescribing Early Years Social Prescribing: Our Evidence Base Our Commitment to Evidence-Based Practice At Lloyd Park Children’s Charity, our Early Years Social Prescribing Service is grounded in a strong and growing evidence base. We recognise that children’s development is shaped not only by healthcare, but by family wellbeing, relationships, and the wider social factors affecting everyday life. Our work focuses on supporting families experiencing challenges such as developmental delay, financial hardship, parental wellbeing needs, and social isolation. Why the Early Years Matter Research shows that the early years are a critical period for children’s development. Parenting and the parent–child relationship play a key role in shaping children’s emotional, social, and long-term health outcomes. Parental mental health is particularly important: Mothers are around twice as likely to experience depression during childbearing years Children of parents experiencing poor mental health are more likely to develop anxiety and depression Parenting stress can influence how difficulties are passed between parent and child. Importantly, research highlights that many of the risks affecting children are modifiable within the family environment, meaning timely support can make a real difference. What is Social Prescribing? Social prescribing connects families to community-based support, activities, and practical resources to improve wellbeing. Studies show this approach can: Reduce loneliness and isolation Improve mental health and emotional wellbeing Increase confidence, resilience, and coping skills Strengthen community connections and support networks It also helps address the wider determinants of health, such as housing, relationships, and financial pressures, which are often at the root of many challenges families face. Why Social Prescribing for Families? Supporting parents is one of the most effective ways to improve outcomes for children. Research shows that: Parent and child mental health are closely linked and influence each other Interventions that support both parent and child together are more effective Strengthening parenting capacity improves children’s development and life chances By improving parental wellbeing, social prescribing helps create more stable, nurturing environments for children to thrive. The Power of Community and Connection A strong sense of belonging and connection to others is essential for wellbeing. Evidence shows that when people feel part of a community, they experience: Greater emotional support and resilience A stronger sense of purpose and identity Improved overall health and wellbeing This is why our service focuses on building local connections and supportive relationships, not just providing services. Co‑Production: Working Together with Families Our approach is co-produced with families through our CoCo East project. This means parents and community members actively shape the support available. Research shows co-production: Improves engagement and relevance of services Builds confidence, empowerment, and independence Reduces social isolation Leads to more sustainable and effective support It also recognises that communities understand their own needs best, and that tailored, local solutions are more effective than generic approaches. Tackling Inequality Early Children growing up in disadvantaged circumstances experience poorer health and developmental outcomes due to social and economic factors. Social prescribing helps to address these inequalities by: Providing early, preventative support Reducing reliance on crisis services Improving access to community resources and opportunities This approach supports fairer outcomes for children and families. How Our Approach Works Research highlights that effective social prescribing services are: Person-centred and holistic Built on strong partnerships across services Focused on co-producing solutions with families Designed to build long-term resilience and independence Our Early Years Social Prescribing model reflects these principles in practice. Measuring Our Impact We use evidence-based approaches to understand the difference our service makes, including looking at: Sense of belonging within the community Levels of social support Experiences of loneliness or isolation Overall wellbeing and quality of life This helps ensure we are continually improving and delivering meaningful outcomes for families. Summary The evidence is clear, supporting parents, strengthening relationships, and connecting families to their communities can have a powerful and lasting impact on children’s development. Early Years Social Prescribing offers a preventative, holistic, and evidence-informed approach that improves wellbeing for the whole family and helps children get the best possible start in life.

  • You and Your Child | LPCC

    You and Your Child You and Your Child What can we learn from parents’ experience of our home visiting family support project Wendy Fields This summary reflects learning from the You and Your Child (Y&YC) family support approach, drawing on collaborative action research research (2012) alongside programme data collected from 2013 onwards. The project was developed through close collaboration between parents and practitioners, learning together about what works best for families. This reflects a process of collaborative action research, where practice and learning evolve alongside one another. Project Summary and Overview You and Your Child is a home-visiting family support project designed to reach families experiencing multiple and complex challenges. It offers personalised, relationship-based support delivered through a multi-agency team, working in partnership with parents to improve outcomes for both children and families. Families supported through the project often face a combination of challenges, including parenting confidence, behaviour management, mental health and emotional wellbeing, financial stress and housing instability, as well as concerns about child development such as speech and language delay. Many also experience isolation and limited access to support networks. Our Approach The project is grounded in the Family Partnership Model, a strengths-based and evidence-informed approach that places the parent at the centre of the work. Practitioners focus on listening carefully, valuing parents’ knowledge of their own lives, and working collaboratively to set goals that feel realistic and meaningful. Rather than offering prescriptive advice, practitioners work alongside families to explore their experiences and identify practical changes together. A core aim is to build self-efficacy, supporting parents to feel more confident and able to manage their family life independently over time, rather than becoming reliant on services. What Families Told Us Parents’ experiences highlight what makes the project effective. A consistent theme is the importance of feeling listened to without judgement. Many parents described how practitioners took time to understand their situation and worked at a pace that felt comfortable, creating a safe space to talk about complex or sensitive issues. This was key to building trust. As trust developed, parents reported a noticeable increase in confidence and self-belief. Several described a shift from feeling overwhelmed to feeling more in control of their lives. This growing confidence often led to wider changes, including improvements in family relationships and day-to-day life at home. Parents spoke about reduced conflict, calmer routines, and stronger connections with their children. The project also helped families access wider support. Through relationships with practitioners, parents felt more able to navigate services, join community groups, and seek help when needed. This reduced feelings of isolation and helped build a stronger sense of connection. At the heart of all of this was the relationship between parent and practitioner. Feeling valued and understood enabled parents to reflect on their experiences, try new approaches, and make changes that lasted beyond the period of support. Data and Impact (Years 1–3) Over its first three years, the project demonstrated steady growth in reach, engagement and impact. Referral numbers remained consistently high, with over 130 referrals each year from a wide range of agencies. Across this period, the project supported close to 1,000 individuals, indicating both strong demand and sustained engagement. Improving parental confidence emerged as a central outcome. Across all years, families reported increased self-esteem, greater ability to manage family life, and stronger engagement with services. Feedback consistently showed that when parents felt listened to and supported, confidence increased and isolation reduced. There were also clear improvements in outcomes for children and families. Parents reported better behaviour in children, stronger parent–child relationships, and more stable routines. In some cases, families were able to step down from statutory services, suggesting reduced risk and increased resilience following early intervention. Work on parenting skills supported meaningful behaviour change. Parents grew in confidence in managing behaviour, communicating and playing with their children, and establishing routines. Many described lasting changes in both their own approach and their children’s behaviour. A particular strength of the model has been the integration of speech and language support. Across the three years, large numbers of children and families accessed targeted intervention, both through home visiting and group provision. Parents consistently reported increased confidence in supporting their child’s communication, while earlier identification of need led to children being referred at younger ages and receiving support sooner. Improvements were seen in children’s communication, interaction and engagement. The project has also strengthened community connections and partnerships. Relationships have been built with over 20 referring organisations, with new partners joining each year. This has improved coordination of support and contributed to wider community outcomes, including increased volunteering, pathways into employment, and the development of initiatives such as a Baby Bank. Key Learning from Three Years of Data Across the data, several consistent messages emerge. The project is effective in reaching families who are often isolated and experiencing multiple layers of disadvantage. Confidence stands out as a key mechanism for change, with improvements in parental confidence leading directly to better outcomes for children. The home-visiting, relationship-based model supports sustained engagement, particularly for families who may not access other services. Integrated support, combining family support, speech and language input, and parenting programmes, appears especially effective. Overall, the evidence suggests that early intervention of this kind reduces the need for more intensive statutory or crisis services. What We Have Learned The learning from this work reinforces the importance of relationships as the foundation for change. Families are far more likely to engage when they feel respected, listened to and understood. It also highlights the need for holistic and flexible support. Families rarely experience challenges in isolation, so approaches that address multiple aspects of family life simultaneously are more effective. Confidence emerges as a central driver of change. As parents feel more capable, they are better able to make decisions, manage challenges and support their child’s development. This in turn leads to more stable and positive family environments. The project also demonstrates the impact of early intervention. Engaging families earlier leads to improved developmental outcomes, reduced reliance on statutory services, and greater long-term stability. Finally, the process of co-learning and reflection has been essential. Ongoing action research with practitioners has strengthened service quality, deepened understanding of family needs, and supported staff to work more effectively. Summary You and Your Child is a highly effective early intervention model that reaches families who might otherwise not engage with support. By building strong relationships and working in partnership with parents, it helps develop confidence, resilience and independence. This leads to improved outcomes for children, stronger family relationships, and reduced pressure on statutory services. By combining evidence-informed practice, integrated support and strong partnerships, the project demonstrates how personalised, relationship-based approaches can deliver meaningful and lasting impact for families and communities

  • Journal Club | LPCC

    Journal Club Overview This summary brings together learning from a collaborative Journal Club involving staff across Lloyd Park Children’s Charity. It draws on research from multiple disciplines alongside practitioner insight, creating a space to reflect critically on our work with families and strengthen how evidence informs practice. Rather than focusing on a single project, the Journal Club explored a wide body of academic literature in conversation with day-to-day experience. This allowed staff to question assumptions, test ideas, and think more deeply about what works. The overall aim was to review current evidence on early years, family support and wellbeing, while also identifying strengths in our existing work and areas where practice and services could be further developed. At its core, the process reflects our commitment to being a learning organisation, where practice continues to evolve in response to both evidence and lived experience. What Makes This Work Different A key strength of the Journal Club is the way it brings together different perspectives from across teams and services. By combining research evidence with practitioner experience, it creates a richer and more grounded understanding of practice. The focus is not simply on outcomes, but on reflection, learning and continuous improvement. Importantly, it also provides space to identify gaps in the evidence and consider where we can innovate or take a leading role. Throughout the process, a central question has guided discussion: What does the evidence tell us—and how can we do better for families? Key Themes from the Evidence A consistent message across the literature is that relationships are fundamental to change. Approaches that are relationship-based and strengths-focused, such as restorative practice and family partnership models, are shown to build trust, reduce stigma and support engagement. They enable families to take ownership of change, rather than feeling directed or judged. This strongly reflects an existing strength in our work: supporting families through respectful, collaborative relationships. The evidence also reinforces the importance of working with the whole family, not just the child. Children’s outcomes are shaped by parental wellbeing, family relationships and wider environmental factors. Ecological and systems-based models highlight that meaningful support must take account of both family dynamics and the broader community context. Poverty and inequality emerge as a major underlying influence across many studies. Disadvantage affects children’s health, development and long-term life chances, often in ways that accumulate over time. This highlights the importance of accessible and inclusive services that address the wider determinants of health, rather than focusing solely on immediate presenting issues. It also underscores the critical role of early intervention in reducing inequality. Another area of growing interest is social prescribing, particularly in relation to mental health and wellbeing. However, the evidence base for children and families is still developing, with limited established models and ongoing challenges around access and implementation. This presents an opportunity for the charity to strengthen and formalise its approach, while also contributing to wider learning and innovation in this field. The research also emphasises the importance of belonging and community connection. Feeling part of a community is closely linked to wellbeing, yet many families face barriers to participation, including low confidence, anxiety, stigma and practical constraints. Effective group work therefore depends on creating welcoming, flexible and non-judgemental environments, and on designing provision with families rather than for them. This points again to the importance of co-production and strong relationships. There is also growing evidence of the benefits of access to nature for children’s development. Natural environments can positively influence emotional wellbeing, behaviour, attention and cognitive development, supporting the continued development of outdoor and nature-based approaches, especially for families with limited access to green space. Finally, a clear message across the literature is the importance of listening, to both children and families. Services are most effective when they are shaped by lived experience, using participatory and creative approaches, and when they are genuinely responsive to what families say they need. Key Organisational Learning The Journal Club has highlighted important strengths in our current work. In particular, it reflects the consistency of our relationship-based, strengths-focused approach, our ability to work holistically with families, and our success in building trust with those who may not access more traditional services. At the same time, it has identified areas where further development would strengthen our impact. These include improving how we measure and evidence outcomes, especially for children, articulating our model of practice and theory of change more clearly, and developing tools and frameworks to support greater consistency across services. There is also an opportunity to expand our role in research and evidence generation, particularly in emerging areas such as social prescribing. Key Recommendations Taken together, the learning points to a clear set of priorities. These include developing clearer practice frameworks, strengthening data collection and evaluation, and increasing co-production with families so that services are shaped more directly by lived experience. There is also a need to continue expanding community-based approaches, including social prescribing, and to build stronger partnerships that address poverty and inequality more effectively. Underpinning all of this is the importance of maintaining a strong culture of reflection, learning and evidence use across the organisation. Summary The Journal Club has deepened our understanding of what works in supporting children and families, while also providing a valuable space for critical reflection. It confirms that effective services are grounded in relationships, take a whole-family perspective, and actively build connection, belonging and resilience. It also reinforces the importance of early action to prevent long-term disadvantage. Perhaps most importantly, it has strengthened our identity as a learning organisation, one that continues to reflect, adapt and improve in response to both evidence and the experiences of the families we support. Evidence Reviewed The Journal Club drew on a wide range of research across early years, family support and wellbeing, including work on social prescribing, restorative practice, poverty and health outcomes, nature and child development, barriers to participation, and the social determinants of child development. This included: Hayes et al. (2023) – Social prescribing for children and young people Lewing et al. (2020) – Early childhood services and family hubs Williams (2019) – Restorative approaches in family support Sammons et al. (2023) – Equity and Children’s Centres Schickedanz et al.
