Annex A What they say about Early Intervention ‘Local government will be delighted if a locally- driven Institution of the type foated in the Allen Report is given the job of breaking through on Early Intervention. Rigorous evidence based policies and strong methodologies, faithfully implemented are the key to combining localised decision making with the most efective programmes around. At a time of scarce public resources it’s even more important that we implement evidence based programmes proved to work and tackle the causes of social problems rather than always be forced to deal with their consequences. ‘I would urge government to look further into the Allen Report and enable us to build an independent centre to take this work forward.’ Stephen Hughes, Chief Executive, Birmingham City Council ‘The Big Lottery Fund shares Graham Allen’s ambition for excellent early intervention to improve outcomes for children and families. Knowing what works, funding it efectively, and infuencing and supporting practitioners on the ground, are all crucial components for success. ‘As a funder, BIG supports many civil society organisations that reach out to and deliver services for families, who could beneft from opportunities for their practice to be shared more widely and validated, as well as opportunities to learn from best practice elsewhere. We therefore look forward to studying the proposals that emerge from Graham Allen’s review and considering how best we as a funder can support early intervention that works.’ Peter Wanless, Chief Executive, The Big Lottery Fund ‘If Early Intervention is to go to the next level, the Private Equity Foundation believes that an institution independent of central government which can identify the best proven interventions, facilitate their delivery by local providers and attract private funders by demonstrating the quality, efectiveness and results of these programmes and policies would be critical. We would be keen to play our part in transforming the ideas in the frst Allen report into action and contributing ideas to the second report on diferent forms of non-government fnancing of Early Intervention.’ Charlie Green, Trustee, Private Equity Foundation 117
118 Early Intervention: The Next Steps ‘It’s already an exciting time for City involvement in Early Intervention and similar programmes. The Allen review proposals open up more possibilities to develop this relationship even further.’ Jim O’Neill, Chairman, Goldman Sachs Asset Management ‘I welcome the idea of the development of an independent intermediary institution linking the communities of fnance, local government and evidence-based early intervention policies, whether built on and with existing intermediaries or established separately if necessary. I would be very happy to be involved in discussions in this area should government give approval in principle to the idea going ahead, given its alignment with our focus on social investment in the development of the Big Society.’ Lord Wei, government adviser on the Big Society ‘The Allen Report opens up the possibility for City investment schemes to fow into tried and tested Early Intervention programmes forging the link between attractive rates of return for investors and serious benefts for individuals and their families. We need to make the step up from individual philanthropy to sustained private income streams. An Early Intervention Foundation could be the vehicle to make this happen and I hope Government will allow those who wish to take this further, to do so.’ Chris Robinson, Chief Executive, The Mayor’s Fund for London ‘An independent Foundation separate from central government, created and led by local councils, private investment and charitable and ethical partners, could impartially evaluate and make freely available the most cost-efective early intervention policies, help put them into practice and explore new resources from non-government funding. Graham’s review recommendations demand a serious appraisal and an urgent response.’ Sir Howard Bernstein, Chief Executive, Manchester City Council ‘Early Intervention must take the next steps forward. We would consider working with others to help get an institution of the ground that could act as a broker between the diferent interests in early intervention, commissioners, investors and deliverers to develop policies and models of intervention, as well as defning and measuring outcomes. Good work is being done in this area by government and others. It now needs to be given additional clout and an extra dimension.’ Ian Charlesworth, Commercial Director, The Social Investment Business ‘The police service has much to gain from capable parenting. Raising socially and emotionally capable babies, children and young people is important, since this will inevitably mean fewer ofenders in later life. Should an Early Intervention Foundation be agreed by the Government we would want to be closely involved with local authority and other partners to help maximise its value.’ Ian McPherson QPM, Assistant Commissioner, Metropolitan Police Service
