pounds 1m for parenting skills
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.PARENTS who need help to prevent family breakdown are to be given new skills and support with the aid of a pounds 1m Government grant, the health minister Paul Boateng said yesterday.
He was speaking at the Families and Early Intervention conference in London which warned that there was no "magic bullet" solution to anti- social behaviour amongst young people.
However early support for families can prevent breakdown and is not only beneficial to families and gives children a good start in life but it also saves money in the long term.
Research in Britain and America has shown that early intervention works. Projects include the Waterville Projects for Children and Young People, North Tyneside and Minsthorpe Community College, West Yorkshire.
