Our Focus Areas

Working with agencies across disciplines and drawing on lived experience, SEED aims to design policy approaches, and create an enduring system that places people at the heart of policy.

System

We need to simplify and re-envision the systems that support families.

 

Drawing on lived experience and an analysis of pathways and costs, SEED will work across sectors and government to build the case for different policy approaches.

 

This will inform a reimagined system with universal and targeted elements, developed with the individual and family at the centre.

Prevention

We need people on the ground creating pathways to opportunity.

 

In the short-term Navigators help individuals connect to the support they need, when they need it. Navigators facilitate connections between support agencies reducing the need for an individual to repeat or shorten their story.

 

Over time, early indicators and avenues for identifying and referring those at risk will be nuanced.

Funding

We need long-term thinking to fund viable support systems.

 

We need to raise ourselves above election and budget cycles and ensure efforts are put to system navigation and support rather than chasing funding. By understanding where costs currently sit, we can develop an approach to funding that goes across portfolios.

How Our Approach Works

We listen and share real life stories on interactions with the system. We convene groups of people from government, the sector and lived experience to uncover the root cause, systemic issues and re-envisage the system to provide the right support, to the right people at the right time.
