Children and families

Stars to help you support children or families on a one-to-one basis

Why use the Stars with children and families

Each Star is developed in collaboration with stakeholders from a sector, and tailored for specific services and settings.

With them, you can make change visible, understood and possible. They’re widely used by support services at every stage along the continuum of needs, from universal support through to specialist help.
