How a holistic focus on children & families changes ‘siloed services’

Family Support Newcastle Case Study

How to stay true to the purpose of a place-based community organisation that has been serving local children & families for 40 years? We hear from Sue Hellier (CEO) & Erin Beard (Team Leader) at Family Support Newcastle about holistic approaches and adapting siloed-services to meet the needs of children, families & communities in the Hunter region. We talk about the current changes to the minimum data set and reporting for the group of Intensive Family Support and Preservation programs funded by the NSW Department of Communities and Justice and the introduction of the new InfoShare reporting platform. More broadly, its a story about how to manage change across multiple programs & funding buckets, how to use data & narrative evidence to understand whats changing for families, & how to embed good practice through the work. Thanks to Sue & Erin for your generosity & sense of humour! It is a joy to partner with Family Support Newcastle to think & do different, to support changes in funding programs and reporting platforms as they arise, so that you can get on with the critical work of meeting the needs of children & families in your community.   1.
