  • An assessment from an expert in nurture groups

The award standards are designed to ensure that you are maximising the impact of your group.

Nurture groups are an evidence-backed intervention. The standards set out the delivery model that has been studied in most of the research, so you can be confident that you'll see the impact the research has found:

  • Improved social and emotional skills
  • Improved attendance
  • Improved behaviour and self-regulation
  • Improved relationships with parents and carers

The award standards are based on the pioneering work of Marjorie Boxall, one of the founders of the first nurture groups and of nurtureuk.

This product sits at the enhance level in our product framework, and complements the Theory and Practice of Nurture Groups training.
