RECOMMENDATIONS

MAJOR RECOMMENDATIONS

This guidance only applies to the management of children aged 12 years or younger or with a developmental age of 12 years or younger.

  • Group-based parent-training/education programmes are recommended in the management of children with conduct disorders.
  • Individual-based parent-training/education programmes are recommended in the management of children with conduct disorders only in situations where there are particular difficulties in engaging with the parents or a family's needs are too complex to be met by group-based parent-training/education programmes.
  • It is recommended that all parent-training/education programmes, whether group- or individual-based, should:
    • Be structured and have a curriculum informed by principles of social-learning theory
    • Include relationship-enhancing strategies
    • Offer a sufficient number of sessions, with an optimum of 8 to 12, to maximise the possible benefits for participants
    • Enable parents to identify their own parenting objectives
    • Incorporate role-play during sessions, as well as homework to be undertaken between sessions, to achieve generalisation of newly rehearsed behaviours to the home situation
    • Be delivered by appropriately trained and skilled facilitators who are supervised, have access to necessary ongoing professional development, and are able to engage in a productive therapeutic alliance with parents
    • Adhere to the programme developer's manual and employ all of the necessary materials to ensure consistent implementation of the programme.
  • Programmes should demonstrate proven effectiveness. This should be based on evidence from randomised controlled trials or other suitable rigorous evaluation methods undertaken independently.
  • Programme providers should also ensure that support is available to enable the participation of parents who might otherwise find it difficult to access these programmes.
