Spotlight on early intervention: Evidencing impact and progressing understandings of preventative support for children, using administrative data.
One of the key recommendations of the ADR England’s Community Catalyst Children at Risk of Poor Outcomes project for the administrative data research community is to deliver evidence that interrogates and informs earlier intervention and prevention. The ADR England Community Catalyst Children at Risk of Poor Outcomes team are pleased to announce an upcoming webinar exploring use of administrative data (including local authority) across a range of exciting research projects examining the impact and developing understandings of preventative intervention/s in the lives of children and families in the UK.
