Steve McCabe MP backs cost saving early intervention services

23rd June 2010

Earlier this week I attended a reception hosted by Action for Children, Family Action and Children England. The reception was to show support to vulnerable children, young people and their families in Birmingham.

The ‘Smart Money’ event and showed how effective early intervention services tackle deep rooted problems such as deprivation and neglect before they spiral out of control and therefore bring economic benefits to the public purse. At the event, I posted my pledge to help give children and their families a brighter future.

I recognise the crucial role that early intervention can play both in creating brighter futures for disadvantaged children and families, and in delivering savings to the taxpayer in reduced social and welfare costs.
 
I have contacted both the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Birmingham City Council to ask what strategies they have to ensure that cost saving early intervention strategies and projects are protected during these difficult times.
 
I will also be holding a special surgery in the next few months specifically for children, young people and their families.
