Family Star – Our Work to Help Make Every Parent A Star

Family Action uses the Family Star to help the disadvantaged parents that we work with be great parents. We’ve recently been highly commended for this work from the Charities Evaluation Services.

Our Family Support workers work with mums, dads and other kinship carers to help them be good parents. The Family Star is a visual tool focused on eight key areas of parenting including ‘setting boundaries’ and ‘providing emotional support’. 

Family Star developed by Trainagle Consulting The Family Star © Triangle Consulting Social Enterprise Ltd We work with parents to help them on their journey from "stuck" at the bottom of the scale to "effective parenting" at the top. We talk to the parents we work with in an honest and open way and use the Family Star to build an action plan to be better parents, chart their progress and help them be the best they can.

Check out our Top Tips for Good Parenting based on the Family Star approach.
