11:05 | Breakout 1: Can early intervention improve social mobility? What are the essential life skills that foster life chances and social mobility? How can we embed them across a child and young person’s life? Chair: Sir Kevan Collins, Chief Executive, Education Endowment Foundation
|
Breakout 2: Can early intervention make a difference to the most vulnerable children? Where and for which groups of children can early intervention make the most difference? What are the signals of risk which are most predictive of future problems and how can they be spotted and effectively responded to in order to prevent poor outcomes for the most vulnerable? Chair: Isabelle Trowler, Chief Social Worker, Department for Education
|
|
Breakout 3: Is service integration the answer? There have been many attempts to integrate services to meet children’s needs earlier and more effectively. Is this approach working or is it just shuffling the deckchairs? Would we be better focusing on GPs and schools, who already have a central role in children’s lives, as the route to more effective early intervention? Chair: Christine Davies CBE, Trustee, EIF
|
|
Breakout 4: How should services reflect what we know about the importance of the inter-parental relationship?
Relationships lie at the heart of how children develop and flourish; learning how to communicate and resolve the conflict between adults are critical building blocks. How can local services implement the evidence on inter-parental relationship to create a change in children’s life? Chair: Jean Gross CBE, Trustee, EIF

How far can evidence really guide decisions about commissioning, services and practice and help us make the best use of resources to improve children’s lives? How should decision-makers and commissioners use the evidence intelligently? Does evidence have its limits and what do we do if there are questions evidence can’t answer?
