Covid-19 and early intervention: evidence, challenges and risks relating to virtual and digital delivery
Martin, J., McBride, T., Masterman, T., Pote, I., Mokhtar, N., Oprea, E., & Sorgenfrei, M. 2020

This report sets out the evidence on virtual and digital delivery of interventions across a range of relevant domains, highlights the challenges and risks associated with remote delivery methods, and provides the findings from an EIF survey asking intervention developers and providers about their response to the Covid-19 crisis. It is intended to support the sector as it rapidly adapts to the constraints on delivery imposed by widespread social distancing and lockdown.Examples of remotely delivered interventions include one-to-one and group-based therapy or support provided by phone, messaging or videoconferencing, through to self-guided interventions such as online quizzes, apps and games.

The cost of late intervention: EIF analysis 2016
Chowdry, H., & Fitzsimons, P. 2016

The Cost of Late Intervention: EIF Analysis 2016 calculates how much the public sector in England and Wales spends on late intervention for children and young people, responding to the more severe problems that they experience. It updates our previous analysis from 2015. Knowing how much is spent on late intervention is useful because it also illustrates a potential ‘fiscal prize’ from early intervention although we do not argue that all of the demand for late intervention can be prevented. Our analysis also provides transparency at a local and national level about how much is spent and by which departments or agencies. This can help stimulate cooperation and new approaches to tackle the demand for late intervention.
