Engagement
Core Component
How services engage with families is crucial to ensuring parents/carers participate and continue with a program until they have achieved their goals.
Flexible activities include:
- Home visits
- Engaging delivery of curriculum material
- Practical support for attendance
- Flexible curriculum for individuals for cultural appropriateness
- Overcoming barriers
The most significant activities that engage families are sustained home visiting, and engaging and relevant delivery of learning material. Overcoming barriers to engagement or attendance in a program increases the positive impact of the program. This can be done through practical support to support engagement, and ensuring the program is flexible enough to be tailored to the needs of the family.
