Using SKIP resources
The SKIP team has a range of resources, some designed specifically for parents, caregivers and families, while others are aimed at helping community groups conduct workshops and training.
Support with evaluation
Evaluation can range from very simple to more complex - but it's a good way to decide if your approach is working, what could be improved, and whether you want to do it again.
We're happy to help you explore ways to evaluate your project. For more information, contact Carmel Irwin:
