Our impact

Triple P is recognised by the UN as having the most extensive bank of parenting research in the world, spanning over 35 years.

The British Medical Association have reported estimated economic benefits of £5.05 for every pound invested in the Triple P system.

The Early Intervention Foundation rates Triple P programmes as cost-effective and evidence based, improving child and parent outcomes and reducing parent conflict, and lists it as a programme capable of preventing crime, violence and anti-social behaviour.

World Health Organization (WHO), in its Violence Prevention Report, named Triple P as one of only two programmes with strong evidence for preventing child maltreatment.

We have provided a sample here of some of the trials that prove the efficacy of Triple P's work with different community and settings.
