The aims of service provision are to support child development and school readiness; support parenting skills; promote good physical and mental health for the whole family; ensure safeguarding; support parents to improve skills that enable them to access education, training and employment; and address risk factors so that children and their families are safe, free from poverty and able to improve both their immediate wellbeing and their future life chances.
