Responsible delivery

Clear boundaries and safeguarding

PheRISE is an educational parenting and peer-support programme. It does not provide diagnosis, therapy or crisis treatment. Organisations delivering the programme need a named course lead and safeguarding contact, appropriate insurance, an accessibility route and up-to-date local support information. Groups of 8–12 parents are recommended.

Books and classroom resources

PheNature also offers emotional-learning books and resources for nurture groups, classrooms and whole-school use. Personal purchases do not permit copying across an organisation; please select the licence that matches your intended use.
