Description
Cornwall Council is commissioning a Parents as First Teachers (PAFT) service, an evidence-based, trauma-responsive home learning programme that supports families to improve children’s early development, strengthen parent-child attachment, and enhance the home learning environment. As part of Cornwall’s Early Help and Family Hubs offer, the service will provide targeted home-based support to families most at risk of poorer outcomes, with a focus on improving school readiness and reducing inequalities. Delivery will prioritise families in Camborne & Redruth and St Austell, Newquay & Clay Country, particularly those with children aged 3–4 years, emerging or confirmed SEND, limited access to funded childcare, or experiencing trauma and adversity. Support will be delivered through structured home visits using the accredited PAFT curriculum and in partnership with Family Hubs, Health Visiting, Speech and Language Therapy, Early Years Inclusion, and other Early Help services.
