    Brief

    This project seeks to remove childcare barriers and engage economically inactive parents and carers who face employment and skills development challenges. The program will deliver comprehensive support including: holiday and after-school activities for school-aged children to enable parental participation; on-site childcare during parent taster sessions to introduce employment and skills opportunities; and community-based engagement events delivered through trusted local partners and accessible venues. Suppliers should be prepared to deliver family engagement services, coordinate childcare provision, organize activity programming for children, and facilitate community outreach through established local networks.
