Abstract
Family support services have existed in the UK for a long time. However, a number of initiatives have sprung up in recent years that focus on the prevention and amelioration of problems and life stressors in order to avoid difficulties becoming entrenched, irreversible problems. Among them is Sure Start. Sure Start aims to support the life chances of children and break the cycle of deprivation through early, preventative intervention. In addition to health and early education projects, family support services are an integral part of Sure Start local programmes.
This study reviews the different types of family support services that are provided by the three Sure Start local programmes that are funded by Halton Borough Council: Widnes Trailblazer, Sure Start New Steps, and Sure Start Seals.
