With support from the Rātā Foundation, Home & Family set out to test the intergenerational impacts of our parenting programmes – SafeCare & Brief Intervention.
Over the period of June 2023 – July 2024, a Good Measure Report, conducted by Impact Lab, found that children of parents who received parenting support benefited from:
- Improved academic achievement
- Improved housing
- Improved infant safety
- Improved mental and physical health
- Reduced family violence and victimisation
- Reduced risky behaviour and offending
- Reduced child placement
This equated to over $17,000 in social value over the course of their lifetime! Not only that, for every $1 invested in Home & Family’s parenting programmes, $2.20 of social value was delivered back to the community.
