- This book assesses the shifting interplay between state provision and voluntary organisations delivering children’s early intervention services. 75,000 words long across 270 pages, divided into 8 chapters, this significant five-year study analyses multiple interviews with 80 children’s charity workers and CEOs, and 20 senior children’s commissioners, alongside five years of financial data from 231 children’s charities. Additionally, it details in-depth analysis of secondary financial data from 306 primary schools (2016-2018) and survey data from 70 headteachers. Telling the story of how the landscape of children’s early intervention services has changed (2008-2018), it highlights important lessons for future policy.
