Abstract
This book focuses on the voices of parents. It gives them the opportunity to share their views around the process and outcomes associated with attending a parenting programme. This chapter introduces the parents who supported my research, in particular those who took part in the interview phase, and describes the methodologies I employed to collect and analyse their perspectives.
