The aim of the presentation is to show how the vision and values of SKIP are key to connecting an outside programme with local communities. We will present three short case studies of innovative community projects designed to engage parents of birth to five year olds with positive parenting education.

The SKIP Local Initiative Fund offered funds to support community organisations with projects that promoted the benefits of positive parenting and provided practical knowledge and skills on safe, effective, non-physical ways of disciplining children for parents of birth to five year olds.

The SKIP vision and values have been central to the engagement of communities, in the delivery of the messages and to how the principles of positive parenting can be incorporated into a wide variety of activities that are designed to normalise parenting education and make the messages relevant to parents/caregivers from all sectors of New Zealand society.

Of the three projects, one is a collaboration between a mainstream social service provider and a hauora organisation, and the others deliver kaupapa Māori and Niue perspectives on positive parenting.

The presentation will show how the community initiatives are well aligned with the SKIP vision, values and objectives and how these groups have taken ownership of the concepts, adapted them to suit their respective target groups and deliver the SKIP messages in an appropriate cultural context.
