Follow-up Report on the May 1997 Workshop
This Manual describes the procedures used to identify the impact which the Parents as Trainers workshop had in the 12 months following its presentation and the results obtained. This is done in terms of the training events organised by the workshop participants, the reported outcomes of the training and indicators of sustainability of this approach to training. In addition, recommendations are made for future actions based on the results of the follow-up evaluation.
