Five by Five A Supporting Systems Framework
for Child Health and Development
Underlying principles:
• The first five years of life are crucial
• Child development occurs in 5 key stages across 5 developmental
domains the “Five by Five”
• The content of the Five by Five is the same for every child
• Effective parenting is key to achieving the Five by Five
• All carers want to parent effectively but may face multiple barriers
that can disrupt effective parenting
• Services need to recognise barriers to parenting and also support
parents & carers in how they respond to those barriers

How does this apply to the Digital Challenge? • Parents want information that is:
• credible • easily accessible (usually through a smart phone) and
there when they want/need it • presented in different ways • useful so that they can make choices about how to apply
the information (‘adult education’ principles) • easy to navigate • engaging to keep their interest (competitive
environment)
