6. Today’s Objectives
To build the capacity and sustainability of EYNs by:
Providing an opportunity for learning, building connections and extending relationships with others with a shared agenda to improve outcomes for children in the early years.
Identifying strategic issues which shape an advocacy agenda, acknowledging that together our collective experience and knowledge can influence the conversation about what matters to children

7. EFFECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEMS
“The existing service system of universal, targeted and treatment services needs to be reconfigured as an integrated and tiered system of secondary and tertiary services, built upon a strong base of universal and primary service.”
An effective service system should identify those at risk sooner, enabling early intervention to prevent the development of disadvantage.
This in turn can reduce the need for more intensive support and the costs associated with lifetime service provision.
As different individuals and families need different levels of support at different times, it is important that there are pathways from universal services to more targeted and intensive services, but also from those services back to universal platforms.
The diagram shows a continuum of services nested within a universal approach…
(In tight budget times we need to avoid the temptation to cut funding for primary prevention and focus resources on crisis and critical care … as we know this will only cost us more in the longer term .. And produce poorer outcomes.)
