Stockport Empowering Parents, Empowering Communities

What we do

Stockport Empowering Parents Empowering Communities (EPEC) is a parenting programme delivered by parents who live in their own community.

The course equips local parents to facilitate parenting courses in their own communities, with continued support from specialist EPEC Supervisors.

We offer a mixture of workshops and courses, virtual and face to face, helping parents to learn practical communication skills for everyday life and bring up confident, happy and co-operative children.

The course is voluntary and is currently delivered online (we hope to offer face to face again soon), 1 day per week over 10 weeks and childcare can be funded for parents accessing the course (to be pre-arranged) and whilst they are delivering an EPEC course.

On successful completion of the training, Parent Group Leaders have access to other training and development opportunities too, for example, safeguarding, restorative practice etc through ourselves or partner organisations an amazing opportunity for local parents who have a few hours spare each week to volunteer with us!
