The MTPT Project’s Cradle to Classroom programme of parental transition support provides coaching and workshop support to educators as they become parents and in the first five years following their return to work and is enriched by online and in-person networking events.

A fourth programme – a block of x 4 1:1 coaching sessions – is available, funded according to certain criteria.

The Cradle to Classroom programmes are open to teachers, leaders, support staff, central Trust colleagues, supply teachers, and returners to the profession who have taken an extended caring related career break.  We welcome participants of all parenting identities, not just mothers.

Since 2021, more than 1,300 parent-educators have benefited from one or more of our Cradle to Classroom programmes, and we know that coaching can improve wellbeing, occupational mobility and retention in the post-parental leave period, and support the negotiation of different flexible and full-time working patterns.
