Early intervention aims to ensure that children at greatest risk of multiple disadvantage get the best start in life. The commission will look at the best models for early intervention and advise on how these could be extended to all parts of the country. It will also consider how such schemes could be supported through innovative funding models, including through non-government streams.
The enquiry is being commissioned as one of the first pieces of work to be remitted to the Social Justice Cabinet Committee, chaired by Rt Hon Iain Duncan Smith. The committee is applying a cross-departmental approach to tackling the causes of poverty and will ensure that each department's proposals deliver fairness and achieve a social return on investment.
The review will report by the end of January 2011 on the issue of best practice and provide an interim report on funding. A final report on funding will be produced by May 2011.
