News archive - January/February 2010Tories plan a new generation of Sure Start Centres THE CONSERVATIVES have unveiled their ideas for a new generation of Sure Start Centres to focus on the neediest families and involve organisations with a track record of helping parents. The new model of Sure Start Centre will deliver dedicated support to disadvantaged and dysfunctional families as part of the Sure Start programme. They would be similar to Academy schools in that they would be independent institutions that operate outside local government control, being funded directly by central government. David Cameron said he was committed to keeping Sure Start, but that he would also seek to improve it by taking it back to its original purpose - namely “early intervention” - increasing its focus on those who need its help most and better involving organisations with a proven track record in parenting interventions. He announced that the Conservatives would “invite independent organisations that have a proven track record in these areas, like Lifeline and 4Children and Homestart, and contract them to run children’s centres and reach out to dysfunctional and disadvantaged local families. They will then be paid - at least in part - according to the results they achieve.” « |
