Consultation and evaluation

Parents, carers and stakeholders have been, major contributors to the design, implementation and ongoing improvements of Parent Pathways.

On this page:

Consultation and design

The design of Parent Pathways was informed by extensive consultation with parents, carers and stakeholders. We listened to what parents want and need to achieve the goals they have for themselves and their families. A report of what we heard from parents during the consultations and a consultations summary is available. These insights are reflected in what Parent Pathways offers.

Parents Advisory Group

A Parents Advisory Group was established to ensure parents with lived experience, and key stakeholders, contributed to the design and ongoing improvement of Parent Pathways.

Evaluation and capacity building

Parent Pathways will undergo formal evaluation and ongoing monitoring. The department will work with providers to build and maintain capacity and foster continuous improvement in delivering high-quality services and supporting parents and carers.
