One of the biggest programmes for this age group is Sure Start. It offers families with children under the age of 5 a ‘one-stop shop’ for childcare and early education, health services, parenting support, and employment advice, with the aim of improving children’s school readiness, health, and social and emotional development. date: 2019-06 publisher: Institute for Fiscal Studies official_url: https://ifs.org.uk/publications/health-effects-sure-start oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1728658 doi: 10.1920/re.ifs.2019.0155 isbn_13: 978-1-912805-22-8 lyricists_name: Conti, Gabriella lyricists_id: GCONT23 actors_name: Conti, Gabriella actors_id: GCONT23 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public place_of_pub: London, UK pages: 100 citation: Cattan, S; Conti, G; Farquharson, C; Ginja, R; (2019) The health effects of Sure Start.
