The golden rules of good government & policy - You don't need to launch something "new" if evidence already tells you existing schemes work. But have the patience to wait for results, especially in early intervention programmes. 25 yrs since beginning it's clear #SureStartWorks

So grateful that here in Northern Ireland Sure Start is alive and thriving!! It's a great example of where we can get it right in our part of the world - Health, Education and C&V sector working as one team to deliver the best outcomes for children! #SureStartWorks

The days when the early years were much more and best start in life mattered. Families had access to early help services, settings working together, family support & services for health for child and mother. Reverse the thinking and move back towards this. It worked it mattered
