Why identify children early?

The idea behind identifying children early, as proposed by the review, is to intervene before problems become entrenched. If schools can spot potential risks for future unemployment or becoming NEETs, support and guidance can be offered much sooner. This proactive approach aims to break cycles of disadvantage and improve long-term outcomes for young people.
