National parenting agenda

Contribution to statutory targets

Developing early home learning services will help local authorities meet the statutory targets relating to the Early Years Outcomes duty, underpinned by the five Every Child Matters outcomes, which states that local authorities, working with their NHS and JCP partners, should "have in place arrangements to support parents, fathers as well as mothers, as partners in their child's early learning".

Programmes that support parents in their role as the child's first educator can also contribute to the PSA Delivery Agreements 10 and 11 and associated indicators:

PSA 10 Raise the educational achievement of all children and young people
 NI 72, NI 73, NI 74, NI 75, NI 78, NI 79, NI 80

PSA 11 Narrow the gap in
educational achievement between children from low income and disadvantaged backgrounds and their peers
NI 92, NI 93, NI 94, NI 95, NI 96, NI 97, NI 98, NI 99, NI 100, NI 101, NI 102, NI 106
