Randomised Control Trial (RCT) of Families Connect

Families Connect is a parental engagement programme that has been designed by Save the Children UK (SCUK) to develop the skills and confidence of families in disadvantaged areas, and provide them with the resources to actively engage their children in learning in the home. Families Connect builds on SCUK’s extensive experience of running parental engagement programmes. It is aligned with SCUK’s strategic mission to transform the early years for disadvantaged children in the UK by bringing innovative solutions to scale, embedding sustainable approaches into the fabric of families’ lives, and influencing policy to ensure change is realised for children into the future. SCUK’s focus is on filling the gaps in evidence about what will make the biggest difference for disadvantaged children.
