About

Sheffield City Council awarded a contract to NUCA trading as Zest for the delivery of the Empowering Parents Empowering Communities (EPEC) early help parenting programme.

The programme is delivered by trained Parent Group Leaders (PGLs), who are volunteers supported by Parenting Specialists within Sheffield City Council's Parenting Team.

It helps parents learn positive parenting skills, better understand children's feelings, value effective parent-child communication, and build more resilient family relationships.

Sheffield City Council was part of the second wave of the NESTA/DCMS funded EPEC Scaling Programme (2017-19) and became an EPEC hub in 2018.

Since then, along with the current provider, the authority has successfully trained a minimum of 12 Parent Group Leaders (PGLs) per year.

The programmes currently delivered are: Being a Parent, Being a Parent Together, and Being a Parent to a child with ASD.
