The book examines the challenges faced by Sure Start, a program aimed at reducing child poverty and inequality, particularly in engaging minority ethnic families. It highlights the need for services that are both accessible and inclusive, focusing on the experiences of Somali parents in South London. Key recommendations for enhancing engagement include tailoring services to individual and ethnic needs, ensuring staff are well-trained, and involving parents in all aspects of service delivery. It also addresses systemic tensions that hinder inclusive service provision amid rapid program expansion.
