WAVE were delighted to see that, during her first session of Prime Ministers Question (PMQs) time on Wednesday 7^th September, Prime Minister Liz Truss MP publicly reaffirmed her support for the importance of early years intervention.

Following a question from Andrea Leadsom MP, Liz Truss said: "…I am committed to following through on delivering for children, because we know that intervening early and helping children early is the best way to help those children to have a successful childhood and, ultimately, a fulfilled life."

Ms Truss has long been a supporter of this approach, having wrote the introduction to our 2013 report ‘Conception to age 2 - the age of opportunity’ (see here).

We are eager to see what further developments are on the horizon for this vital sector.
