A number of new FLLN programmes are being developed to benefit hard-to-reach groups such as foster carers and children in their care. Embedding opportunities for young people in informal youth settings to access Skills for Life, and in particular targeting minority groups including young offenders, are also key. The programme covers the following areas:
- developing an FLLN programme for parents with children aged 0-5 (Early Years Foundation Stage)
- developing skills to move into employment
- working with bilingual families
- working with children in care and their carers
- evaluating recent work with grandparents and teenage parents
- supporting the delivery of Skills for Life in youth work settings
- developing and successfully piloting a Quality Mark in the context of the Early Years in ten local authorities. Full details can be found in the evaluation report and through the case studies.

Phase 2
Under Phase 2 of Extending the Reach, additional piloting is being undertaken with mothers, fathers and carers in schools at points of transition in their children's lives. These Digital Families programmes are currently being delivered in a range of settings at two key points: transition into Primary School; and transition from Primary to Secondary School.
