The purpose of the ‘pioneering places’ is to form a working evidence base, allowing the Early Intervention Foundation (EIF) and others areas in the country to learn from real-life examples of what works best over the next 18 months.
The Early Intervention Foundation, funded by the Department for Education, is run by the Early Intervention Consortium, which is chaired by MP Graham Allen.
The work of the ‘pioneering places’ will be used to inform national policymakers about how early intervention could be improved and made more cost-effective.
Chosen as they demonstrated substantial commitment to early intervention and innovation in its delivery, the 20 places are: Blackpool, Blackburn with Darwen, Croydon, Dorset, Essex, Gateshead, Hertfordshire, Islington, Lancashire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Greater Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham City, Poole, Plymouth, Solihull, Staffordshire, London Tri Brough (Westminster City Council, Hammersmith and Fulham and Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Councils ), West Cheshire Partners, Wiltshire and Swindon, and Worcestershire.
