Title: Sure Start

Case Study by The Young Foundation

What is Sure Start is here to do?

Sure Start is a government programme which aims to achieve better outcomes for children, parents and communities. It does so by increasing the availability of childcare for all children, improving health and emotional development for young children and by supporting parents, as parents, and in their aspirations towards employment.

We will achieve our aims by helping services develop in disadvantaged areas, offering financial help for parents to afford childcare, and by rolling out the principles driving the Sure Start approach to all services for children and parents. The policies and programmes of Sure Start apply in England only. Responsibility for early education and childcare in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland rests with the separate devolved administrations.

Title: Honest Brokers: brokering innovation in public services

Article by Matthew Horne (The Innovation Unit)

Where is the Silicon Valley for public services in Britain?

Highly innovative sectors of the economy benefit from an infrastructure of science and innovation parks, business incubators, R&D labs and the like. What would the equivalent infrastructure look like to support innovation that tackled chronic disease, youth crime, climate change or teenage pregnancy?

This booklet explores the role of innovation brokers in public services. It looks at what they are, what they do, and why they might be needed to support innovation in public services. In particular, it looks at how they broker knowledge and relationships between innovators with ideas, managers and commissioners looking for solutions, investors and policy makers.

The emerging market of innovation brokers working in public services is a fragile underdeveloped market of SMEs that could be damaged by unhelpful policy making. We recommend that Government seeks to create propitious market conditions for innovation intermediaries working in public services - just as it has encouraged innovation intermediaries in hi-tec, high innovation, commercial sectors.
