9. Lessons Learned Involvement of wider partnership in developing strategy, a success of Brighter Futures. Ownership and implementation a challenge – implementation tends to revert back to established paths. Opening up tools and methodology to partnership peer review and scrutiny is healthy. Making EBP “business as usual” – culture change. Implementation, evaluation and benefit tracking. Fidelity. Investors vs. beneficiaries (PBR)

10. Lessons Learned Engagement with community and parents Evaluation of IY imminent, but early indications showed: –Data states 9% of 3 year olds with conduct disorder. But Children Centres screening showed only 2% Children who can most benefit are least likely to attend. Change in outreach strategy. Services must put more effort into outreach to ensure all families that are in need benefit (Marmott Review)
