New report on effective practice in early intervention
8 Oct 2010
The Centre for Excellence and Outcomes (C4EO) has published Grasping the nettle: early intervention for children, families and communities. The report looks at early intervention, the challenges associated with it and the opportunities it provides for supporting children, families and communities in the contexts of local, national and international practice.
The report finds that early intervention does work when “it is an appropriate intervention, applied well, following timely identification of a problem.”
Grasping the nettle is based on over 100 effective local practice examples submitted in response to a call for evidence from C4EO and the Association of Directors of Children’s Services. The aim of the report is to act as a practice guide to help support local authorities and their partners by providing them with the key messages about “what works”.
