Before delivering the SFSC programme to parents, facilitators must first undergo a substantial training programme. 

This page provides information about the structure and content of the facilitator training.

The structure and content of facilitator training

The training takes an experiential approach which allows attendees to explore the impact of culture and values on their own upbringing and child-rearing attitudes.

Who provides the training?

Training is provided by internationally recognised trainers from our partnership organisation, Parenting Across Cultures
