I Matter Schools and Community Development Network
Decades of research evidence has indicated that the most important elements for improving outcomes for children include:
i) is the health and confidence of the adult-child relationship
ii) support for child and adult's developmental needs
iii) supportive communities
So how do we deliver services based on this understanding?

The I Matter Schools and Community Development Network is being offered as a one year trial programme. We want to explore how to effectively advocate for improved accessibility of training for professionals and parents of children presenting with challenging behaviour or mental health difficulties within local communities.
Our aim is to help more people come to understand the essence and principles of the I Matter Framework so that it in turn can support local decision making and help build the skills and confidence of the parent-carer community.
We are thus firmly committed to a wholistic prevention and early intervention approach that helps communities to help themselves. The principles behind the I Matter Community Wheel is that in a community everyone has a role to play and that as individuals we need different support from different people at different times.
We put the I Matter Framework at the centre with the commitment to prioritising the health of adult-child relationships because decades of research evidence has confirmed that adult-child relationship health is the glue that supports improved wellbeing - physical health. mental health, educational outcomes and safer communities.
