There is still relatively little known about when, why, how and in what circumstances parenting interventions are effective. Support within the group context has been theorised as a key mechanism. This paper explores how pregnant women with additional health or social care needs participating in two group parenting interventions-Mellow Bumps or Enhanced Triple P for Babies-experienced being in a parenting group, and how this shaped how they engaged with the interventions; and it examines how group delivery may have facilitated or inhibited the effectiveness of the interventions, and for whom it did so. Session evaluation forms (n = 708) and a post-intervention questionnaire (n = 117) were completed by participants. In-depth interviews were conducted following the MB/ETPB antenatal sessions (n = 19), and 6-12 months after the birth of their baby (n = 15). Group delivery of these parenting interventions had the potential to support participants, particularly those with multiple additional health and social care needs. There are, however, important caveats including patchy attendance reducing the supportiveness of the groups, and few discernible longer terms changes. More group sessions, less patchy attendance, and more encouragement from facilitators for the women to keep in touch, and to join other community parent-child groups after the birth of their baby are likely to have increased feelings of support and connectedness.
对于育儿干预措施何时、为何、如何以及在何种情况下有效,人们还知之甚少。理论上,在团体环境中提供支持是一个关键机制。本文探讨了有额外健康或社会关怀需求的孕妇是如何参与两项团体育儿干预措施--"圆润妊娠"(Mellow Bumps)或 "强化婴儿三P"(Enhanced Triple P for Babies)--的,以及这如何影响她们参与干预措施;本文还研究了团体实施如何促进或抑制干预措施的有效性,以及对哪些人产生了这种影响。参与者填写了课程评估表(n = 708)和干预后调查问卷(n = 117)。深入访谈是在产前甲基溴/ETPB 课程(n = 19)和婴儿出生后 6-12 个月进行的(n = 15)。这些育儿干预措施的集体实施有可能为参与者提供支持,尤其是那些有多种额外健康和社会护理需求的人。但是,也有一些重要的注意事项,包括参加人数不均衡,降低了小组的支持性,以及很少有明显的长期变化。更多的小组会议、更少的零散出席率、主持人对妇女保持联系的更多鼓励,以及在婴儿出生后加入其他社区亲子小组,都有可能增加支持感和联系感。

Child protection social workers in England are required to make many decisions in their day-to-day work, including whether to accept a referral, undertake a child protection investigation, pursue care proceedings, or close the case. Many of these decisions involve implicit or explicit predictions about the likelihood of future actions, events, and outcomes. This paper presents the results of a study in which social workers and social work students in England were asked at two time points, six to eight months apart, to read a series of case vignettes and make forecasts about the likelihood of different actions, events, and outcomes. The accuracy of these forecasts was measured to determine 1) the aggregate level and range of forecasting accuracy, 2) whether forecasting accuracy is stable over time, 3) whether different vignettes are harder or easier to forecast and 4) whether personal or professional factors are predictors of forecasting accuracy. On average, respondent’s forecasts were 6% better than you would expect by chance, although there was significant variation within the sample. Nearly three-quarters of the respondents who made forecasts more accurately than chance at Time 1 did so again at Time 2. Four of the vignettes were found to be consistently easier to forecast, and four were consistently more difficult. No personal or professional characteristics were found to be significant predictors of forecasting accuracy. There are few straight-forward decisions in social work and the question of how best to support practitioners as they undertake this critical aspect of their role will continue to be an important focus for research.

ABSTRACT Emerging research indicates an immense burden on children and families related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study uses data from semi-structured interviews and focus groups with early childhood service providers (n=19) to demonstrate the pandemic's impact on families with very young children and early childhood services in two high-need communities in Massachusetts, USA. We found that although the pandemic has worsened existing inequities and severely limited resources for young children and families, community mobilization in response to the crisis and innovative strategies stemming from resilience were developed quickly. Findings highlight the usefulness of early childhood systems of care in crisis responses and leveraging public-private cooperation to serve the needs of diverse families with young children. Lessons learned are applicable to global settings with high pre-pandemic inequities and can be used to develop stronger models of crisis response within the early childhood sector in preparation for future crises.
