Extracts From The Inter-Project Report

This report was the result of collaboration between the twelve local projects involved in the CDP programme. In summer 1973, the Home Secretaiy called for progress reports from the projects and in response individual reports were prepared. However local projects were anxious to emphasise that many issues they faced locally were not isolated problems, but symptoms of more basic underlying processes. Twelve separately prepared local reports could have missed these common themes, and it was decided to produce a general interproject report. This was prepared by a working group drawn from the projects, using material from the local reports. The report was submitted to the Home Office in November 1973.
