Serious Problems May Arise in Lives of Young People at Any Age
12 January 2011
The fixation on early years intervention is naive - serious problems may arise in the lives of children at any age, not just during the early years, says Mike Stein.
Giving priority to early years intervention programmes is irrational, morally flawed and naive. The independent commission on early intervention, chaired by MP Graham Allen and set up by the government, should give equal recognition to the needs of vulnerable teenagers as to those aged under three.
