2. Primary
prevention:
Secondary
prevention:
Preventing or minimising
the risk of problems
arising, usually through
universal policies like
health promotion or a
vaccination programme.
Targeting individuals or
groups at high risk or
showing early signs of a
particular problem to try
to stop it occurring. For
example Family Nurse
Partnerships, screening
programmes, or the
Reading Recovery
Programme.
Tertiary prevention:
Intervening once there is a
problem, to stop it getting worse
and redress the situation. For
example work with ‘troubled
families’ or to prevent
reoffending.
Acute spending:
Spending which acts to manage the
impact of a strongly negative situation
but does little or nothing to prevent
negative consequences or it
reoccurring in future. For example
prison, or acute hospital care.
