SURE START

The Impact of Sure Start Local Programmes on Three Year Olds and their Families (4th March 2008)
A new National Evaluation of Sure Start (NESS) report has been published. It found that living in a Sure Start Local Programme (SSLP) area was associated with positive impacts on 5 of the 14 outcomes investigated. Children living in SSLP areas exhibited more positive social behaviour and greater independence/self-regulation, whilst parents made greater use of support services, exhibited less negative parenting and provided a better home-learning environment.
