NVR has a growing body of research behind it, but most outcome measures used in published studies were not designed to capture what NVR specifically changes. They measure child behaviour or generic parenting stress, missing the NVR constructs of presence, resistance, self-regulation, and community of support that sit at the heart of the model. The Parental Presence Outcomes Star was developed precisely to address this gap: seven outcome areas mapped directly onto NVR theory and the five-stage Journey of Change, completed collaboratively, and capable of generating aggregate data across services. In this session we present distance-travelled data from 41 families supported across three services between 2021 and 2025. The findings show consistent, meaningful progress: 76–83% of families improved across six of the seven outcome areas, with the highest gains in Dealing with difficult situations (83% improved) and How I feel (80% improved), the core NVR competencies the model targets. We discuss what the data tells us about the sequence of change NVR predicts, including why child behaviour outcomes lag behind parental change and why this is itself a finding worth bringing into practice. We also address the practical and financial barriers to adoption honestly, and make the case for why every Star reading completed contributes to an evidence base the NVR community urgently needs to build together.
