Report of the DfES commissioned national evaluation of the Parenting Fund in 2005.

There were two strands to the evaluation strategy:

•  Strand A, carried out by the Tavistock Institute, examined how well the model of fundholding, and its implementation, had contributed to the achievement of these aims.

• Strand B, carried out by the Policy Research Bureau, looked at changes in the nature, extent and quality of provision in the parenting sector.

The project was first based at the Policy Research Bureau (PRB) and moved, with Judy Corlyon and Daniel Clay, to the Tavistock Institute when PRB closed in March 2007.
