This requires a longer-term shift to focusing on the causes rather than symptoms within cycles of challenge. Investment in prevention and early intervention will reduce the demand on specialist services, reducing costs in the long-term. The number of children, young people, adults and families in Nottingham with high needs is significant.
The Early Intervention Programme is funded by One Nottingham and led by the Children's Partnership, one of six strategic partnerships belonging to One Nottingham. In order for the programme to achieve the necessary impact and be sustainable, the commitment and participation of all partners across the city is essential.
Programme VisionOur early intervention services are innovative and accessible, enabling the best start in life for our children and young people, and empowering our families to provide strong parenting, resilience and ambition.< Back to top >
City Definition'Our aim is to break the intergenerational nature of underachievement and deprivation in Nottingham by identifying at the earliest possible opportunity those children, young people, adults and families who are likely to experience difficulty and to intervene and empower people to transform their lives and their future children's lives.'This can be achieved by:

Early effective support
Support the target groups and empower them to:
Be strong, healthy families
Be emotionally resilient and demonstrate maturity in decision-making
< Back to top >
Access lifelong learning and economical activity
All delivery projects are undertaken in collaboration with partners. A theme partnership takes responsibility for ownership, management of risk and opportunities for each project.
Nottingham is also partnered with Government through our Local Area Agreement (LAA) Demonstration Area for Early Intervention work and has supported the national focus through two international conferences bringing together expertise and key voices in the early intervention debate and national partner visits to Nottingham.This Demonstration Area work has increased opportunities and added value for the work in the City. Learning that results from the Demonstration Area Programme will be used to refine and improve delivery of our LAA as well as helping to shape and challenge Government thinking and models; exploring the tensions between short-term improvement targets and long-term investment to deliver intergenerational change.
The Children's Partnership Board has responsibility, on behalf of One Nottingham, for driving the Early Intervention Programme, but all theme partnerships have a role in implementing the programme.

Long-term benefit realisationEarly Intervention and our Sustainable Community StrategyNottingham has spent the last two years working with partner organisations and local people, employers and businesses, community and voluntary and faith groups developing and finalising our Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS).
Our SCS sets the agenda for change for Nottingham over the next decade. It is a strategy for jobs and prosperity, for better neighbourhoods and for strong and aspiring families. Right at the heart of this vision - and this strategy - is a determination that over the next two decades we will fashion a new direction for Nottingham where accelerated wealth creation goes hand in hand with a decisive breaking of the cycle of intergenerational poverty through early intervention, so that more of our children grow up to benefit from the City's wealth and with higher aspirations.
In 2030, Nottingham must not only be wealthier, but fairer. The true test of whether we have succeeded will be how many of our children grow up to achieve more than their parents. These are big aspirations. We will not achieve them by 'muddling through' or by sticking to conventions. We will need to be radical in our analysis of what we must do, bold in our willingness to act and not afraid to be different.
Our Early Intervention Programme underpins many of the key drivers in our developing SCS action programmes to deliver change in Nottingham over the next decade. We will build on our pioneering early intervention work to help to break the cycle of intergenerational deprivation in Nottingham.
An evaluation framework for the SCS will be developed during 2009. This will be informed by and encompass the Early Intervention learning and evaluation workstream.

Programme Outcomes:As a result of its approach, Nottingham was selected as one of 12 national Local Area Agreement Demonstration Areas. Any learning from the National Programme will be used to refine and improve Nottingham's LAA and help to shape and challenge Government thinking and models.
