Please note - the quality mark process is no longer active or accepting applications.
CANparent was the only quality standard that was developed for the parenting sector, by the parenting sector. The CANparent quality mark set out what organisations needed to have in place in order to prove that they are delivering quality approved classes based on sound evidence, with strong governance practices, financial and risk management procedures. Coupled with robust systems for training, supervision and measuring and evaluating outcomes. It also set a path to improvement for those starting off within the sector.
Organisations had to demonstrate how their work made a positive difference in order to bid successfully for public sector contracts. By achieving the CANparent Quality Mark, they proved that they can do this.
The CANparent Quality Mark is the only quality mark that covers the work of all providers of Universal Parenting classes, be they charities or other organisations. No other Quality Mark brought together all the essential areas of having an evidence based approach to delivery, effective governance and engagement with parents.
