What works best to identify and intervene early to support vulnerable children and their families before they enter the social care system?

Background

What happens in the home is a key driver of school experiences and attainment, and influences choices and outcomes.

This also contributes to the Safe Streets mission. We are interested in all types of safety including safeguarding at home and in care and online safety.
