This study examined the impact of PEEP for parents/ carers. The study found that PEEP parents, compared to a similar group of non-PEEP parents:
- reported significantly greater awareness about how to help their child's literacy development
- had improved their socio-economic status (as measured by their job)
- had taken more courses, particularly in basic skills.
Parents also considered PEEP to be a source of support and encouragement.
