Today’s @TheIFS report showing the positive impact of early #SureStart programmes on GCSE results is further evidence that #EarlyIntervention and family support can make a significant & positive difference to children’s lives 🧵👇

[Dr Karen Bateson @KarenJBateson]

This is what the Sure Start results support (and loads of other studies, including, in time, FNP, Better Start etc etc).

[Better Start @CECDBlackpool]

Very important analysis from @IFS on the long term impact of Sure Start. More evidence that #EarlyIntervention and family support has a significant impact on children’s lives.

[The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood @Earlychildhood]

Last year, @earlychildhood funded a trial of an observational tool which helps health visitors to interpret baby behaviour and support parent-child interactions. Today, we're delighted to share the evaluation results, which are overwhelmingly positive.

@KarenJBateson I’ve had the same issue but I’m still waiting 🙄

[Barnardo’s @barnardos]

Today’s Budget announcement wasn’t good enough.

We’re happy to see the Household Support Fund extended, but this still leaves many facing a cliff-edge in September.

We wrote to the Chancellor with @jrf_uk @childrensociety @TrussellTrust & 120 others orgs about this in February.

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

Scotland’s health visitor investment is improving #childhealth and easing pressure on services.

England may wish to follow Scotland’s lead on preventive healthcare for under 5s, @Emmajourno

"Instead of making decisions around how you make profit, just focus on colleagues being really happy."

Timpson boss @JamesTCobbler talks to @krishgm about "upside-down management” and why giving employees more control can make a business more money.

There has been a lot of discussion about the issue of school readiness following this publication from @KindredSquared

What do children think they need to be ready for school?
