There are pre-implementation materials to measure organizational or provider readiness for Triple P - Positive Parenting Program® System (System Triple P) as listed below:

Support using the Implementation Framework is inclusive of several tools designed to support agencies in the successful adoption of Triple P. Examples of these documents include:

• Organizational Readiness Checklist for Implementing Triple P — a brief self-assessment that focuses on key implementation milestones and assists organization(s) in identifying areas of strength and areas requiring more development.
• Implementation Milestones Checklist — a list that details the key milestones involved throughout the phases of implementation and can serve as a guide for an organization as they plan and begin implementing Triple P.
• Self-Assessment Implementation Drivers Checklists — tools that are designed to assist a local implementation team in assessing the current state of implementation drivers and determining if any changes will be required for the program being implemented:
• Coaching and Peer Support
• Facilitative Administrative Supports
• Leadership
• Performance Management
• Recruitment and Selection
• System Intervention
• Training and Accreditation

The Triple P Implementation Tools are provided with support from an Implementation Consultant at no cost for agencies planning to adopt Triple P. Please email contact.us@triplep.net for more information related to the Triple P Implementation Framework

There is formal support available for implementation of Triple P - Positive Parenting Program® System (System Triple P) as listed below:

Triple P America utilizes the Triple P Implementation Framework. The Framework is flexible and follows the key principles of Triple P — self-regulation and minimal sufficiency (i.e., it is a guiding framework for support of those implementing Triple P and the level of support may be decreased or increased to match the needs and available resources for a given agency or community.) For this reason, the Framework supports the full range of potential implementation possibilities from small, single organization implementations to complex multi-sector public health applications.

Triple P America employs Implementation Consultants who are available from point of interest through the implementation process, providing technical support, coaching, and consultation. This includes supporting organizations in the implementation planning process and sharing of Triple P implementation tools is included for agencies/jurisdictions adopting Triple P. For complex initiatives, organizations without experience in implementing manualized practices, or organizations without the capacity to support multi-organizational implementation, Triple P America can provide additional implementation support at an additional cost.

There are fidelity measures for Triple P - Positive Parenting Program® System (System Triple P) as listed below:

Triple P has three quality assurance/fidelity checks built into its implementation framework:

1. Session Checklists — Each intervention has a session checklist which assists practitioners in implementing the service as intended. Organizations have the flexibility to utilize these instruments as self-assessments or in more formal quality assurance procedures. These can be provided for agencies interested in adopting Triple P.
2. Accreditation of Practitioners — Completed within the context of a Triple P Provider Training Course, this establishes baseline competence of all practitioners and certifies them as being able to implement the program as intended. The accreditation process has two steps: obtaining a passing score on a written exam and displaying competence in parent consultation skills as scored by an accredited Triple P trainer through direct observation or DVD submission. Procedures are in place to help and "recycle" practitioners to master the intervention when they do not pass accreditation.
3. Peer Support Networks - A crucial element in implementation sites involves the adoption of a self-regulatory framework and the use of the Peer Assisted Support and Supervision (PASS) model of quality assurance. During PASS sessions, practitioners are expected to present cases, obtain feedback from other qualified practitioners, and continue to supplement their skills with continuing education. The PASS manual and checklist are available to trained practitioners through the Triple P Provider Network.

Other quality assurance and fidelity checks are possible to implement and Triple P America implementation consultants will work with local agencies to craft a plan that is consistent with local oversight agency procedures. Please email contact.us@triplep.net for further information on measures of fidelity.

There are implementation guides or manuals for Triple P - Positive Parenting Program® System (System Triple P) as listed below:

Triple P has two levels of implementation tools available. Implementation Consultants can provide support to organizations to develop their own handbook of implementing Triple P, using the tools and processes in the Implementation Framework to provide a context specific guide for those responsible for coordinating the implementation of Triple P at that organization or region. For agencies, the Triple P Implementation Workbook serves as a primer and guide on the implementation process. For the direct service provider, each level of Triple P includes a Practitioner Manual with step-by-step guidelines for successful delivery of Triple P.

Tools associated with the Implementation Framework are provided in conjunction with support from a Triple P Implementation Consultant for agencies or jurisdictions interested in adopting Triple P. The Triple P Practitioner Manuals are provided as part of the Triple P training. Please email contact.us@triplep.net from more information related to the Triple P Implementation Framework. The relevant Triple P Practitioner Manual is provided to practitioners when they attend a Triple P Provider Training Course.
