EasyPeasy: Evaluation in Newham: findings from the Sutton Trust Parental Engagement Fund (PEF) Project

3 mins read Education
This report evaluates one of the two trials of the EasyPeasy programme. EasyPeasy is part of the Sutton Trust/Esmée Fairbairn Parental Engagement Fund (PEF) project, and aims to improve child development by increasing positive parent-child interaction through play at home.

Research by Fiona Jelley and Professor Kathy Sylva, (2018)

EasyPeasy uses mobile phone technology to reach parents and carers. A dedicated mobile app is provided to families which provides inspiration and ideas for real-world games and activities, combined with detailed and relevant information on child development provided by video.

The games are designed to help parents to support children to develop the skills and capacities needed to make a strong start in school and life. The content is integrated with the practice at relevant children's centres, primary schools, and nurseries. This means that EasyPeasy also functions as a "digital outreach service" that extends, embeds and consolidates the work of practitioners.
