    From consumer to partner: Rethinking the parent/practitioner relationship

    Edition no. 32, September 2021

    This edition of Policy Brief focuses on the nature and importance of partnerships between parents and professionals. Three types of partnerships are discussed: partnerships in the helping relationship, service co-design partnerships, and partnerships involving parents as co-workers.

    About Policy Brief

    The Policy Brief series aims to stimulate informed debate about issues that affect children's health, development and wellbeing. Each issue draws on current research and evidence-informed practice and explores:

    • why the issue is important
    • what the research tells us
    • what the implications of the research are
    • considerations for policy and practice.
