Graham Allen's early intervention report (PDF) is out today. It makes a very important contribution to promoting evidence-based policy and effective interventions to produce better outcomes for children. The study builds on the earlier Frank Field report, continuing to develop a strong argument for intervening early in children's lives, solving problems before they reach school.
