As part of new arrangements under the Fairer Scotland Funding stream, Capital City Partnership is taking a key role in developing early intervention approaches within Edinburgh. A key part of any early intervention policy is building the capacity of individuals, families and communities to secure the best outcomes for themselves. It is about moving from intervening when a crisis happens towards prevention, building resilience and providing the right level of support before problems materialise.

The Partnership will provide cohesion, information and act to bring together the various Early Interventions projects across the city. Its goal is to change the culture and develop the workforce of agencies working in this area by increasing awareness and recognition of the early onset of problems for young people and their families and ensuring that appropriate community based services are in place to intervene effectively.

An action plan has been developed by the Early Intervention Task Group.
