"To combat inequality at its root, in many countries family and parenting support programmes have been developed and implemented to assist families in creating stimulating home learning environments for their children. Practitioners working in these programmes are often confronted with highly complex, changing, and diverse work environments. However a clear description of the competencies these practitioners need to be successful does not currently exist. We conducted a qualitative case study and obtained in-depth knowledge about the necessary professional competencies from the perspective of financiers, providers, practitioners, and participants across three cases of family and parenting support programmes in Germany and the Netherlands."
