Autorenporträt

Harriett Wilson (1916-2002) was a sociologist, anti-poverty campaigner and the founder, in 1965, of the Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG). Her discovery of the overlap of poverty, juvenile delinquency and problems at school also led her to set up an experimental pre-school play centre, an initiative taken further in the Sure Start programme launched in 1998.
