The Parenting Course - Gloucestershire Churches Together
The Parenting Course programme began in 2005 with the PLCT funding research into the existing provision of parenting courses in the county of Gloucestershire.

This work has progressed with the PLCT not only funding the provision of parenting courses in areas where an un-met need has been identified, but also taking the lead in the county in developing accredited training for parenting course facilitators.
