Kinnections® is a web-based platform and application designed specifically for educators working with children as young as four years of age. Kinnections® simplifies the process of undertaking regular wellbeing check-ins in education settings. The weekly check-ins are purposeful and consistent conversations between educators and children, focusing on evidence-based indicators including connection, optimism, safety, and general wellbeing. Children’s responses are captured within the platform and reported via both a dashboard and weekly reports, allowing educators to easily identify children who may need additional support. The tailored dashboards and reports provide high level insights as patterns emerge and individual profiles are established to easily identify children whose wellbeing may be at-risk. The long-term impacts associated with poor wellbeing can be reduced with effective early identification and engagement. In collaboration with ARACY, Kinnections® will support best practice and inform national policy positions to further the interests of Australia’s children, allowing them to thrive.
