What is Understanding key worker experiences at an Australian Early Childhood Intervention Service about?

The delivery of family-centred practice (FCP) within Early Childhood Intervention Services (ECISs) for young children with a disability or development delay conceptualises that children's learning environments, parenting, family and community supports intersect to have the greatest impact on the developing child. The transdisciplinary key worker model is considered a best-practice approach within ECISs whereby staff work collaboratively across disciplinary boundaries to plan and implement services for children and their families. Research suggests families who have a key worker have better relationships with services, fewer unmet needs, better morale, more information about services, higher parental satisfaction and more parental involvement than those not receiving this service. Using a phenomenological qualitative design this study sought to understand transdisciplinary key workers' perspectives regarding the strengths and challenges to undertaking their role in providing services to children and families accessing an ECIS at a major disability service organisation, in light of the changing policy reform during the roll out of the National Disability Insurance Scheme in Australia
