Positive Parenting Project

positive parenting project

In 2012 Anita founded The Positive Parenting Project, a social enterprise which aims to bring the benefits of proven evidence-based parenting strategies to as many parents (and children) as possible. Anita started her career in international development, spending four and a half years in Mongolia where she went through both of her pregnancies. (Her eldest son learnt to say ‘mummy’ in Mongolian before he said it in English!). Anita also spent time in Hungary and Kazakhstan. Anita has studied developmental psychology (child development) to postgraduate level and is an accredited Triple P® parenting coach. A leading UK parenting expert, she speaks at events across the country and delivers parenting seminars, webinars and one-to-one support. She is regularly featured as a parenting expert on TV and radio. Fascinated by children and how they develop, Anita has a talent for helping parents view their children and their own parenting strategies from different angles. She is adamant that there is no such thing as a perfect parent and says her ambition with her own children is simply not to make the same mistakes too often. After becoming a single parent, Anita changed careers. She worked as a strategic manager in a local authority children’s services for nine years, setting up and managing early intervention, targeted and specialist family support services including Sure Start Children’s Centres, parent support lines, teenage pregnancy prevention projects and intensive family support.

The international student recruitment market for UK Boarding Schools is huge, exciting and full of opportunity however, along with all the greatness comes complexity, risk and uncertainty. UKAcademia, was formed to create an understanding of the student recruitment market, particularly focusing on schooling applications and, in turn, to simplify this process for our clients. We are one of the most trusted and unique providers in the industry who have partnered with associations worldwide and create opportunities for young people, ensuring that their journey from start to finish is a smooth one. Our partner UK Boarding Schools are carefully selected so that we can give all families a wide range of choices whether it concerns academic ability, affordability or simply a 'try before you buy' approach. Since being founded in 2012, we have placed over 150 students into boarding schools for many long-term courses and have in-turn supported schools with their recruitment and international development agendas. Today, we have expanded to recruiting and supporting families from over 15 countries and have now opened offices in Thailand, India and Hong Kong. Our Headquarters remain in the UK. Whilst recruiting for top schools from 15 different countries, we took time to really understand the process and explore any challenges so that we can create solutions as well as make the process less daunting. The two major components are schools and international students, and here is an overview of what we discovered:
