The Early Intervention Transformation Programme (EITP) is part of the Delivering Social Change Atlantic Philanthropies Signature Programme.  The Programme aims to improve outcomes for children and young people across Northern Ireland through embedding early intervention approaches.  Collectively funded over a three year period by DE, DHSSPS, DEL, DSD, DOJ, OFMDFM and the Atlantic Philanthropies, the EITP seeks to transform services to children and families in order to deliver a long term legacy of improvement.

Programme Focus

• Government working together/pulling resources to focus on prevention and earlier intervention;
• Using evidence to inform changes to practice;
• To deliver transformational improvements in outcomes that can be sustained over the long-term; and
• On using data, research and outcome indicators to demonstrate impact on outcomes for children.

The Programme aims to achieve three distinct objectives:

• equipping parents with the skills needed to give their child the best start in life
• supporting families when problems first emerge, before they become embedded or statutory services are required; and
• positively addressing the impact of adversity on children by intervening both earlier and more effectively to reduce the risk of poor outcomes later in life
