  17. The Way Forward – All Parties ‘Early Intervention to reduce the risks of passing disadvantage from generation to generation is a long-term project. It requires not just “patient capital” but patient politics – including the commitment of all parties to realise the vision of an approach where we consistently help early enough in life to prevent problems in the first place.’ Rt Hon Ed Miliband MP ‘.... convincingly argues the economic, fiscal and moral case for switching public spending from dealing with the causes of social failure towards investing in programmes that prevent that failure in the first place, and provides some practical steps to help government make this transition.’ Rt Hon David Cameron MP ‘A call for action – the action needed to ensure that every child in Britain can realise their full potential.’ Rt Hon Nick Clegg MP
