We do not provide services directly to the public. Instead, we work with the relevant entities that provide services to ensure they have strong policies and legislation, and are working collaboratively to achieve their objectives, and the desired child outcomes.We also have an online Parents Platform that provides parents and caregivers with content and resources to help them support children’s development and well-being.
We have four distinct roles:
- We are an enabler: We broaden the capabilities of our partners to support holistic child development.
- We are a policymaker: We develop coordinated and aligned policies and laws.
- We are a knowledge hub: We inform decision-making through research, data and evidence.
- We are a disruptor: We transform how people think about and address the needs of young children.
