Priority 3 - Promoting earlier support

Promote earlier and coordinated service system
approaches to support children and young people to thrive.

Strategies 

  • Drive the case for greater investment in prevention and earlier intervention.

  • Strengthen coordinated, earlier responses across services for children, young people and families.

  • Promote policy and practice that reduces children and young people’s risk of entering statutory systems and increases connection, identity and belonging.

What success looks like

  • Earlier intervention and key protective factors for children and young people are more visible in public policy, funding and service planning.

  • Evidence is driving earlier, more coordinated responses for children, young people and families across services funded by the government.
