Abstract
This essay has critically appraised policy evaluation in Sure Start initiative in the UK. Sure Start Local Programmes (SSLPs), initiated by UK Government, aimed at addressing child poverty and social exclusion. The impetus for the implementation of Sure Start was built on the previous research, particularly evidence from the American early intervention programmes. This study focused on one of the evidence, a longitudinal study on parent involvement. By examining the design and rigour of the study, it is concluded that the use of one-group pre-test and post-test design cannot address the effectiveness of the intervention.
