How to build a preventative state for children

Wednesday 11th November 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM

The Government has put a preventative state on the agenda. The harder question is what it takes in practice. Place-based approaches are widely recognised as an important part of the answer.

Hosted by the CSJ and AllChild, this panel brings together political and civic leaders, policymakers, philanthropists and charities to explore how we can turn the ambition for a preventative state into practical solutions with children and communities. Speakers include Geoffrey Canada, founder of Harlem Children’s Zone, whose place-based approach inspired the Obama administration’s Promise Neighborhoods programme in the US.
