Two important new papers from Melbourne, Australia about holistic integrated early learning. Valuable with international significance

Published July 2021

The Centre for Community Child Health has prepared two papers for Social Ventures Australia on integrated child and family services. The papers explore the potential of holistic, integrated early learning service models to improve outcomes for young children and their families who are experiencing vulnerability.

The first paper reviews what is known about the core needs of children, parents and families, the conditions that parents require to meet the needs of their children, and how well the service system is meeting those needs. It utilises this evidence to identify what role integrated child and family centres (ICFCs) could play in addressing the needs of children and families.
