“The purpose of The Seeds of Exclusion, the fourth in a series of reports published by The Salvation Army, is to identify how patterns of early-life experience contain the seeds of later problems, and how The Salvation Army and others might tackle them. In the late 19th century William Booth, the Founder of The Salvation Army, drew on the analogy of a cliff fall to describe his understanding of social intervention. While it is entirely appropriate to rescue the man or woman who has fallen into the sea, it is much better to tackle the roots of the individual's problem at the top of the cliff from which they fell. This report is a 21st-century expression of Booth's 'top-of-the-cliff' vision and strategy.”
