NFER researchers have published a report reviewing the literature exploring the impact of early intervention on outcomes for children, young people and families.
Overall, the evidence showed that the case for investing in early intervention approaches to improve outcomes and to bring about cost savings in the longer term is widely accepted and supported. It is the extent of potential cost savings that increasingly needs to be identified and evidenced to enable policy makers and local commissioners to make informed decisions. There is, however, a paucity of evidence on the cost effectiveness of early intervention approaches within the UK.
