Mr. Alan Campbell: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what assessment he has made of the benefits of the Sure
Start Scheme. [130383]
Margaret Hodge: A large scale, comprehensive evaluation of the Sure Start programme is under way. This will establish what works to
improve outcomes for young children and their families, in the short, medium and long term.
By its nature many of the benefits of Sure Start will be long term: so the evaluation is tracking 8,000 children over
time--initially at nine months, three years and five years--and then beyond. The first information will be available by spring 2004.
The evaluation is also examining how the programme is being implemented. To date assessments have been published on Setting Up Sure
Start, Early Experiences of Implementing Sure Start, Characteristics of Sure Start Areas and Fathers in Sure Start Areas. These
assessments show that many of the necessary building blocks for successful Sure Start programmes, such as joint working and
involvement of parents in planning and delivering services, are being put in place.
These publications and further information about the National Evaluation can be found at

and what their total cost has been. [130384]
Margaret Hodge: A total of 63 Sure Start Local Programmes have been approved in the north east of England. To date we have given
approval for over £33.2 million capital and paid just over £46.1 million in revenue for Sure Start Local Programmes in the North
East of England to help reach 238,000 0 to 3-years-old children. Some of the programmes have started delivering full Sure Start
services for parents and families in their area and others are at various stages of delivery.
