PRISE-giving: A Parenting Industry Partnership Prototype

For childcare service providers and parenting welfare agencies understanding user-experiences of services, and quantifying the magnitude of their impact on promoting children's health and wellbeing across the life course is increasingly important. The current surveying systems for capturing user feedback primarily enable measuring outcomes against pre-built metrics or tracking goals around business profit. There is a need for greater flexibility in generation and evaluation of child-focused data that facilitates drilling down to more granular information. To address this challenge, we partnered with parenting research industry representatives to codesign and develop an innovative social evaluation platform. PRISE is an easy-to-use, flexible and aesthetically pleasing system, specifically designed to support the capture and reporting of childcare data and parenting experiences from diverse communities. We present the PRISE prototype and highlight unique features including parent-child demographic illustrations, granular access permissions and dedicated security features. Finally, we propose caring-through-data and continuous quality improvement as analytical-lens for future research and development with parenting industry partners.
