The Association for Children with a Disability have reported on the first installment of consultations with families and carers to inform the ECI Best Practice Review. Almost one hundred families and carers took part in family-led interactive sessions hosted by ACD, Kindred, Kiind and Yellow Ladybugs.
These consultations underscored that families are carers are heavily invested in lifting the bar on the quality, coherence and connection of ECI supports. They are desperate to do what’s best for their child and broader family and understand the importance of seeking the right supports at the earliest opportunity. Loud and clear across all consultations was the message that families want best practice to be the norm and to feel confident that any and all ECI supports are consistently of high quality. They do not want best practice ECI to be something they have to specially search out, advocate for, or be lucky to receive.
A report from the consultations will be made available shortly.
