Dame Clare Tickell, chief executive of Action for Children, responds to Professor Eileen Munro's review of child protection

10 May 2011

Action for Children particularly welcomes Professor Munro's emphasis on the proven effectiveness of early intervention. As the report says, the association between child abuse and neglect and parental problems is well established.

We wholeheartedly agree with Professor Munro's recommendation that getting early and local help to children should be a priority. We know that quick responses to children's problems work best through the intervention work we do with troubled families across the country.

We congratulate the government for commissioning this thoughtful and comprehensive review and are confident that the price tag attached to the recommendations will be well worth paying when looked at in the long term, for children and society at large.
