Description
"This paper outlines the rationale and features of strategies to support early child development that are effective in improving outcomes for the whole population. A population approach aims to monitor and improve the health, educational and social outcomes of the population as a whole. It can be a part of efforts to reduce inequalities between groups within the population and has a strong focus on the social determinants of health and educational success. A population approach utilises indicators to measure the health and wellbeing of the population, as well as to inform policy decisions and the public about progress. The research is clear that early childhood development plays a key role in many life outcomes, so it is important that the wellbeing of the NT‟s children is carefully monitored and that effective strategies to improve outcomes for all children are adopted." - Executive summary,
