Dan Byles, Conservative Candidate for North Warwickshire & Bedworth, has welcomed an announcement by David Cameron for a new generation of Sure Start Centres to focus on the most disadvantaged families.
David Cameron set out the plans during a speech in which he reiterated Conservative support for marriage, and said that first time parents needed more support.
The new Sure Start Centres will operate as independent institutions outside of local government control, and will be funded directly by central Government – so they will put no addition burden on local council tax payers.
David Cameron said he wanted to improve on the current model by returning Sure Start to its original purpose: "…early intervention, increasing its focus on those who need its help most and better involving organisations with a proven track record in parenting interventions".
Speaking after Mr Cameron’s speech, local Parliamentary Candidate Dan Byles said: “I am delighted at David Cameron’s speech. I have always strongly welcomed policies to support and strengthen families, and these proposals will help to look after the most vulnerable families at a time when they are most in need of support.
“I am also a big fan of encouraging independent organisations, such as charities like Lifeline and 4children, who already have proven track records in helping parents and families. Thay are part of the wider circle of society that goes beyond expecting Government departments to do everything – and they are often more efficient and more in touch with ordinary people than civil servants in Whitehall.
“So the proposals to invite charities and organisations like this to run children’s centres, and to be paid by the results they achieve, is a practical way to harness the knowledge and experience that already exists in the voluntary sector.
“This is a positive policy, and I’m delighted that David Cameron is standing firm in his commitment to supporting families.”

... as when we speak of commitment
you think of marriage, kids,
the whole eternal dungheap
of forever.
And I, I think of love taking the shape of a needle, an arrow, a spear:
anything sharp with the searing
keenness of Now--
where what matters is not distance
but depth, where there is no divorce
or turning back, because there is nothing,
nothing for us,
nothing for us
to ever turn our backs on.

I am proclaiming my insanity by commiting to another 365. I'm doing this for myself, in order to bring back some focus on my photography, while continuing to grow as a photographer. Being the anal person that I am, it's a bit irritating I'm starting in the middle of a month, 3 months into the year, but I guess change is part of growth. Thanks for stopping by.
It's only fitting to start Day 1 with my still unfinished Rubik's cube, this time on a new coffee table, in a new place.
Happy St Patty's Day! Be careful out there this evening.

2015 was a banner year for international commitments to address climate change. However, as countries take steps to implement National Adaptation Plans and cut emissions, policymakers and practitioners may find themselves grappling with the unintended consequences of climate action. How climate responses are developed and implemented could increase the vulnerability of populations and contribute to political instability. As part of an ongoing effort by ECSP to investigate the conflict and peacebuilding potential of climate change, including “Backdraft: The Conflict Potential of Climate Change Adaptation and Migration” and A New Climate for Peace: Taking Action on Climate and Fragility Risks, join us in a roundtable discussion on current efforts to understand the potential “backdraft” effect of responses to climate change.
