Book Synopsis Sure Start children's centres by : Great Britain: National Audit Office
Download or read book Sure Start children's centres written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006-12-19 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government launched the Sure Start programme in 1998 to help give the best start in life for every child, particularly from disadvantaged backgrounds, by bringing together early education, childcare, health and family support services. From April 2006, local authorities have been responsible for managing the programme for their area and decide whether to do so directly or to contract out management to a private or voluntary provider, whilst the DfES issues guidance to local authorities and monitors performance. The first 800 centres were located in the most deprived areas, but the Government has pledged to create a children's centre for every community by 2010, around 3,500 in all, committing £3.2 billion of funds until 2008. Children's centres also have income from various other sources including grants and fees for childcare charged to parents. This NAO report focuses on the capacity of the centres set up by September 2005 and the performance of responsible local authorities in delivering value for money through sound financial management, in reaching the most disadvantaged families, and in monitoring their performance effectively. It finds that good progress is being made although the full effectiveness of the centres will be measurable only in the long term. The centres are valued by most of the families who use them, although the early signs are that more still needs to be done to reach and support some of the most excluded groups. The costs of centres and activities vary widely, and local authorities and centres that the NAO visited need to understand their costs better and assess whether they were using their funds cost-effectively.
Book Synopsis Implementing Sure Start Policy by : Xiongwei Song
Download or read book Implementing Sure Start Policy written by Xiongwei Song and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1997, the Labour Government came to power in the UK and committed to reforming public service delivery, particularly towards the improvement of children’s services. This book analyses Labour Party’s subsequent strategy towards public service delivery emphasising, on one level, devolving more power to frontline deliverers, while on the other, strengthening central control through a variety of means, leading to a ‘mixed-approach’ in its overall reforms. The book focuses on the implementation process involved in rolling out its Sure Start policy in order to understand and analyse the dynamics in Labour’s approach to delivery. In so-doing, it draws on implementation and policy network theories to offer an original analytical framework - ‘the implementation network approach’ - to explain the implementation process of Sure Start policy. This book will be undoubtedly appealing to the students and scholars engaged in the fields of Public Policy and British Politics.

Book Synopsis Challenging the Politics of Early Intervention by : Gillies, Val
Download or read book Challenging the Politics of Early Intervention written by Gillies, Val and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2017-08-23 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So often, the ills of society are blamed on negligent parenting, leading to the development of social service policies built around the concept of early intervention. Interrogating this concept, this book explores the history of our understanding of children, family, and parenting, and its implications for society. With a particular focus on the intersection of brain science and social policy, the authors challenge our long-held consensus on early intervention. Accessibly written and highly topical, Challenging the Politics of Early Intervention is a comprehensive and critical assay of our contemporary belief that so-called bad parents raise substandard future citizens unfit for the new capitalism.

Book excerpt: Recent authoritative evidence suggests that an estimated 200 million children under five fail to achieve their developmental potential due to factors including poor health and nutrition and the lack of stable high quality care. A significant number of the world’s children today lack the basic rights to health, development and protection.

Book Synopsis Health Inequalities by : Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Health Committee
Download or read book Health Inequalities written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Health Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report from the House of Commons Health Committee shows that whilst the health of all groups in England is improving, over the last ten years health inequalities between the social classes have widened with the health of the rich improving more quickly than that of the poor. Health inequalities are not only apparent between people of different socio-economic groups - they exist between different genders, different ethnic groups, and the elderly and people suffering from mental health problems or learning disabilities also have worse health than the rest of the population. The causes of health inequalities are complex, and include lifestyle factors - smoking, nutrition, exercise to name only a few - and also wider determinants such as poverty, housing and education. Access to healthcare may play a role, and there are particular concerns about 'institutional ageism', but this appears to be less significant than other determinants. [Ed.].

Book Synopsis Delivering the Best Start by : Carolynn Rankin
Download or read book Delivering the Best Start written by Carolynn Rankin and published by Facet Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is now statutory in the UK for children from birth to five years, and other countries are experiencing similar developments; early years librarians, teachers, nursery nurses, playgroup leaders and childminders all require knowledge of how to promote and encourage communication, language and literary skills. Parental reading with young children is clearly vitally important, and libraries are uniquely placed to support the development of literacy skills in pre-school children. This book provides an understanding of how children develop such skills through enjoyable and meaningful learning experiences, and is a pioneering practical guide for library and information professionals involved in planning and delivering services in early years libraries. Drawing on the authors' underpinning contemporary research and examples from current best practice, it will equip practitioners with a broad range of knowledge and ideas. Key areas covered include: take them to the library: the role of the early years professional people and partnerships: working across interdisciplinary boundaries, and how to involve parents and carers buildings, design and space: the children's libraries of the future resources for early years libraries: books, toys and other delights reaching your audience: the librarian's role planning and organizing: projects and reading sessions. User-friendly and accessible, each chapter is clearly structured and sets outs the key issues for practitioners, scenarios offering insights into these, and practical ideas and resources for service provision. The book also includes case studies of successful pre-school library initiatives in a variety of global settings, useful information about relevant organizations, and links to helpful websites. This valuable text is essential reading for all library and information professionals working with young children - whether those with responsibility for the strategic planning of services, or those involved in delivering them at community level. Readership: Essential for students of library and information studies or childhood studies, and practitioners undertaking NVQ qualifications, it also provides a sound background in early years literacy and provision for a range of local authority practitioners, such as nursery teachers and Children's Centre managers.
Book Synopsis Early Years: Progress in Developing High Quality Childcare and Early Education Accessible to All by : Committee of Public Accounts
Download or read book Early Years: Progress in Developing High Quality Childcare and Early Education Accessible to All written by Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2004 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research shows that high quality childcare and early education has positive influences on child development, and that lack of accessible and affordable childcare can be a barrier to work for parents of young children. The Government has increased spending on early years provision and developed the National Childcare Strategy and a number of other initiatives. Following on from a National Audit Office report on this topic (HCP 268, session 2003-04; ISBN 0102927332) published in February 2004, the Committee's report examines the progress that has been made in increasing the supply of early years provision, improving choice for parents and delivering improvements in care standards. Findings include that, although there has been significant investment and good progress made in increasing the number of childcare places available, there are continuing regional gaps in provision, particularly in London. Early year programmes need to focus on services for deprived children outside recognised disadvantaged areas, and more use should be made of school premises to meet unmet demand.
