Challenging the Politics of Early Intervention: Who’s ‘Saving’ Children and Why

Val Gillies (University of Westminster),Rosalind Edwards (University of Southampton),Nicola Horsley (Loughborough University, Centre for Research in Social Policy)

A vital interrogation of the internationally accepted policy and practice consensus that intervention to shape parenting in the early years is the way to prevent disadvantage. It shows how early intervention policies underpinned by interpretations of brain science perpetuate gendered, classed and raced inequalities. This book will be welcomed by those looking for a positive, collectivist vision of the future.
