My Lords, I warmly welcome this daughter of Sure Start. One of Sure Start’s great strengths was the way in which it involved parents so as to boost their agency, self-confidence and sense of ownership of the projects. Today’s report refers to coproduction by local authorities together with their communities. Can my noble friend say more about that, and whether the Government will emphasise the need for efforts to be made to ensure that parents from the most marginalised communities, including those living in poverty, are actively involved?
