The reports were published by the Centre for Excellence and Outcomes inChildren and Young People's Services, or C4EO, a new consortium oforganisations including the National Children's Bureau, the NationalFoundation for Educational Research and the Social Care Institute forExcellence, and funded by the DCSF.
C4EO is intended to create a 'single and comprehensive picture ofeffective practice' focusing on six Every Child Matters themes: earlyyears, disability, vulnerable children, youth, parents, carers andfamilies, and schools and communities (News, 17 July).
The initial three scoping studies evaluate the leading studies onchildcare, early education, family support and their influence on childoutcomes.
Christine Davies, director of C4EO, said, 'The three scoping studieshave considered over 550 publications, demonstrating the rigorousmethodology we are following to develop a "what works" knowledge bankthat will give professionals working in early years the very best,reliable information.'
