Core Aim 1: Early years, childcare and parenting

Data sources available on children and young people to support monitoring of Core Aim 1.

We are committed to supporting parents and fund a number of schemes to achieve this.

Core Aim 1

Core Aim 1 is that every child should have a flying start in life and the best possible basis for their future growth and development.

Local authority and health services, voluntary sector and community groups provide a network of services which support families with young children.

Appropriate interventions

Appropriate interventions at this early stage can be the most effective for future life chances. Particularly important are:

  • high quality childcare and early years education
  • good parental health promotion/education
  • provision of information to parents.

Cymorth

Through Cymorth – the Children and Youth Support Fund we encourage the provision of programmes to provide support to parents. One of the main programme themes is ‘Family Support’, which aims to ensure families have access to support that will foster positive relationships between parents and children.
