General
The full SFSC course is delivered across 13-weeks in-person within a group setting; this programme is accredited by the Open College Network. Meaning, you can gain credits for taking part in the programme, which you can use for job applications or if you want to return to education. This programme consists of three-hour in-person weekly sessions, and because of the length has more content than the online course.
Whereas our six week programme is entirely online and consists of one-hour weekly group sessions and self-studies. If you would like an introduction to parenting strategies, have previously attended the in-person 13-week programme and would like a refresher or if you struggle to attend face-to-face sessions the online programme is for you.
To access your self-study sessions, to access these sessions, please sign in here with your email and password. Once signed in, please click on ‘profile’ to open up the page for your self-study sessions.
Your Zoom link will be emailed to you by your facilitator at least one day before your group discussion is scheduled to take place. If you have not received your Zoom link, please contact us.
The most common reason this happens is due to an unwatched video or an audio has not been listened to completely. If this is not the case and you still are having issues please contact us.
SFSC Parenting Course
Please select the age group of the child you are the most interested in receiving information about; you will receive a digital manual which provides information on all the developmental stages. You will also receive support from your group facilitator, who will be able to answer any specific questions you may have.
Whilst the self-study element of our online course is written in plain English, you may find our 13 week in-person course easier to participate in than this one.
Whilst the self-study element of our online course is written in plain English, where possible we do deliver the group discussion in other languages, but our variety of languages are limited.
We are looking to expand the languages these group discussions are available in, please contact us if there is a particular language you would like the session to be available in.
Stronger Relationship Course
Ideally both co-parents should attend the course, as this course is about communication and working together for the benefit of your children. We would be happy to send your co-parent any information and answer any questions, please contact us.
This course has been designed for co-parents, extended family members and blended families, regardless of whether you live together or separately. There will be communication techniques which you can use with other adults who may support you in the care of your child, such as grandparents, aunties, teachers and friends. This course will give you parenting techniques which will help you to communicate with your children as they grow.
Anyone who is a main carer for a child, this could be step-parents or grandparents for example.
Yes! This course has been developed to support families who cannot agree on their child’s arrangements. This course is a good place to start instead of going to the family courts or can support you before, during and after the case.
Probably not. If as a victim you believe it was a one-off incident, in the past and are not afraid of your co-parent, then we might be able to work with you on the course, after we have spoken to you both before the start of the course, please contact us.
