The Toolkit contains a wealth of information, resources and ideas. Topics covered include: What do parents of 8-11 year olds want? What are the options for working with this group?

Stephanie Stace and Debi Roker, TSA 2006
This new Toolkit is an essential resource for practitioners and facilitators working with parents. It focuses on how 'monitoring and supervision' works in families.
Based on research carried out by TSA with 50 young people, and one or two parents, the Toolkit includes:
- Research findings - what do we know about monitoring and supervision?
- Groupwork activities to use with parents
- Useful resources and organisations
- Evaluating work with parents
This unique resource aims to support practitioners in their work, and in turn help parents to keep young people safe.

TALKING ABOUT DIFFICULT ISSUES TOOLKIT
by Dr Lester Coleman and Dr Debi Roker
TSA 2004 [Best Seller]
The main aim of this Toolkit is to help practitioners to address difficult issues with parents. It is particularly relevant to those running parenting coures in the youth justice system. The two specific issues included are sexual health and substance misuse. The Toolkit has a number of key sections, reflecting what practitioners working with parents said that they wanted.
The Toolkit is not a course. It is, as the name suggests, designed to provide the 'tools' that practitioners can use to raise and discuss difficult issues. It lists groupwork tools and activities to open debate and discussion on difficult issues. These includes case studies, quotes from parents and young people, and quizzes and games. It also includes evaluation guidelines and materials that practitioners can use, both to relfect on the usefulness of the Toolkit, and to get feedback from parents about sessions.
