Review of the Early Intervention Parenting program and Good Beginnings Prototypes report

The Early Intervention Parenting (EIP) program and Good Beginnings Prototypes (GBP) were reviewed in 2003 to determine if the focus continues to be relevant to and consistent with future policy direction and program priorities.

The review identified that EIP and Good Beginnings projects are broadly consistent with research on good practice.

The projects are using responsive approaches to their target groups that work from parents' strengths. Most projects use holistic and multi-faceted approaches. Where a single focus intervention is used parents are, in the main, linked with other services. Projects demonstrate the use of a mix of individual support, skills education and community development approaches.
