Abstract: Sure Start is a place-based early years programme aimed at families and children aged 0-3. The programme includes multiple interventions that are accessible to eligible families based on their area of residence. Interventions may be delivered within Sure Start centres, other public settings or in families’ homes. The expansion of Sure Start over time presents a unique opportunity to measure the impact of the programme using a quasi-experimental method called Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD). This paper assesses the validity of the RDD approach and main study data collections ahead of data access to outcomes data. See main study registration (DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/96UZG).
