  Sure Start 30 Nov 2005  
Success or failure?

The first report on Sure Start is published today. It is the response to overwhelming evidence that the futures of most children are set by family circumstance long before primary school. Sure Start provides drop-in mother-and-toddler groups, parenting classes, health visitors, IT classes, childcare, speech therapy and so on.

Jenni is joined by Professor Ted Melhuish, Sociologist at the University of Kent Ellie Lee and journalist Polly Toynbee to discuss whether we now have evidence that the scheme has fatal flaws.
