A decade of sustained change in policy and funding has altered the landscape of children’s early intervention services and changed the role of charities in it. This study reviews the new interplay between public and third sector providers, considering future roles, opportunities and challenges for practitioners, policy makers and volunteers alike.

Provides a timely assessment of the shifting interplay between state provision and voluntary organisations delivering early interventions for children, young people and their families. Using one-hundred voices from charities and stakeholders on the frontline, this book provides vivid accounts of the lived experiences of charitable groups, offering key insights into the impact of social policy decisions on their work and telling the story of the last decade.

Alison Body is a Lecturer in Philanthropic Studies with the Centre for Philanthropy at the University of Kent. Previously, she was a CEO of a leading children’s charity and a lead Commissioning Officer for early intervention services for Kent County Council and has significant experience of working closely with voluntary sector organisations and funders to deliver essential services which achieve maximum impact for children, families and communities.
