Barefoot Research and Evaluation has developed a portfolio of projects which concern parenting programmes and family intervention work. Much of this work relates to the reduction of re-offending and the reduction of disadvantage but all includes improved outcomes for children. This work includes the following:
- Evaluation of the Hidden Harm family intervention for families with parental drug and alcohol misuse problems in Northumberland
- Needs assessment of children in East Northumberland for Children North East
- Evaluation of Safe Newcastle’s Respect Parenting Programmes (Strengthening Families and Incredible Years)
- Chairing the Children and Families Pathway for the Regional Offender Manager’s Reducing Re-offending Action Plan
- Evaluation of the Family Intervention Project in Newcastle
- Evaluation of the Northern Literacy Trust’s Time Together literacy programme for teenage parents
- Evaluation of the Prisoners Post Release Project for Parentline Plus
- Research into how prisons in the North East maintain and support family relationships while a parent is in prison
