The EIF Guidebook: a vital step towards delivering evidence-based early intervention

Published

What is the EIF Guidebook, who is it for, and how can it help?


A vital part of providing effective early intervention is knowing which programmes have been successful in the past, according to high-quality trials and evaluations. As a country, we can’t afford to be delivering interventions that don’t stand a good chance of making a difference.

The EIF Guidebook provides a wealth of information on over 100 early intervention programmes that have been shown to improve outcomes for children and young people, in one accessible, searchable database.

By bringing together information about evidence, cost and implementation, the Guidebook provides an essential starting point for commissioners and local service leaders.

Use the Guidebook to find out more about a programme that you are thinking of commissioning, or to identify a set of evidence-based programmes that fit your area’s needs.
