Evidence-based early years intervention

House of Commons Science and Technology Committee, November 2018
This report urges the Government to develop a new national strategy to capitalise on the opportunity that early intervention provides to transform the lives of those who suffer adversity in childhood, while also saving long-term costs to Government.

It concludes that the overall provision of early intervention in England is fragmented, with varying levels of support, focus on evidence, and success.
