Every Child Matters Explained - An Interactive Guide for Mums, Dads and Carers

This Practitioner Activity Pack Empowers Parents by Explaining the Significance of the Every Child Matters Policy Framework

Do you work with parents to develop and evaluate activities?

Developed in partnership with Children North East Fathers Plus and Children's Services the activity pack enables workers in Sure Starts, Children's centres, schools and other settings to communicate to fathers, mothers and carers an understanding of the ECM framework and what it means to parents.

Workers can demonstrate in practical ways the priority that has been given to improving real outcomes for children and young people. Discussion points and cards help mothers, fathers and carers to put in context the activities of the project and appreciate the huge impact that their parenting has on outcomes for their children.

The pack consists of a CD ROM containing a short presentation with facilitator guidance notes and a set of 9 cards to run activities with parents which will stimulate discussion. The activity can be run over a single session of between 45 and 60 mins and will give participants the opportunity to explore the significance of Every Child Matters and what it means to them.
