SafeCare

SafeCare is a brief, evidence-based, early intervention training programme for parents and caregivers of tamariki ages 0-5.

SafeCare uses a skill-based curriculum that builds on the knowledge, experience and existing strengths of a parent/caregiver. Through initial baseline assessments, we are able to identify a parent’s initial skill set and use this information to inform how to deliver the training in remaining sessions.

SafeCare is delivered over 18 sessions that cover 3 modules:

• Parent-Infant/Child Interaction that targets risk factors associated with neglect and physical abuse
• Health that targets risk factors for medical neglect
• Home Safety that targets risk factors for environmental neglect and unintentional injury
