  1. Future Families: Ann-Marie Burns Janette White

  2. Future Families – A Three tiered Approach Bounce & Rhyme (0 – 3 years) • Help improve children’s literacy, numeracy, and communication skills • Build vocabulary and language acquisition • Assist understanding of child development • Promote parenting skills and prevent social isolation of parents

  3. Future Families – A Three tiered Approach Toddlers Tales (3 – 5 years) • Same intended outcomes as Bounce & Rhyme, but targeted at older age group • Incorporates physical activity to address growing concerns around childhood obesity and inactive lifestyles

  4. Future Families – A Three tiered Approach Group Triple P • Managed by Glasgow Life and co-facilitated by NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde

  5. Context • Child population in Glasgow (i.e. those residents aged 15 years and under) is 97,236 – representing 16.4% of the city’s total population • 28,251 children are aged 0-3 years (i.e. 29.1% of the total child population) • 12,382 are aged 4-5 years (12.7%) • 38.4% of Glasgow’s child population is considered ‘vulnerable’

  7. Importance of the Home Learning Environment (HLE) • Influence of HLE on cognitive development (Roulstone et al, 2011; DfE, 2011) • Children from poorer backgrounds less likely to experience rich HLE (JRF, 2010) • Impact of parent-child activities such as reading and singing (Bradshaw, 2011)

  8. Engaging Vulnerable Families • Social networks & group dynamics (Withall, Jago & Fox, 2011) • Initial engagement / communication mechanisms (Vincent et al., 2009, cited by Ben-Galim, 2011) • Formal vs. informal support (Mabelis & Marryat, 2011)

  9. Tailoring Support: Future Families • Bounce & Rhyme Times and Toddlers Tales as pathways to accessing Triple P • Critical success factors: • Range of communication mechanisms • Non-threatening setting • Establishment of rapport & continuity of service

  10. Future developments • Increase staff awareness • Develop additional programme for 3-5 year olds • Targeted programmes • Taster sessions / information points • Volunteers/Mentors
