The One Family Programmes Service provides adult education and training to people parenting alone or sharing parenting. The service aims to develop and provide a range of best-practice employability programmes that empower people to take the next steps into education or work.

Our New Steps Personal Development  and New Futures Employability Programmes are free and provide lone parents with the skills and support they need to progress to education and employment. Everyone who participates in our programmes has access to regular one-to-one support and other wraparound family supports. We understand the experience of parenting alone and sharing parenting and how challenging it can be to move back into education or find fulfilling employment. Our employability programmes are unique because they are specifically designed for lone parents who want to return to  education or work but are not sure where to start.

The New Futures Employability E-Learning Programme is delivered as a 12-week online programme. It explores both Personal & Interpersonal Development and Career Planning. It is a unique employability programme that includes online e-learning, wraparound family support and regular one-to-one sessions with a support worker. You will also attend workshops on key topics and have regular check-ins on Zoom with other parents completing the e-learning programme. Details on how to enrol are here.
