Troubled Familes

Previously, known as the Troubled Families programme was launched by former Prime Minister David Cameron in 2011.

The programme initially intends to change the repeating generational patterns of poor parenting, abuse, violence, drug use, anti-social behaviour and crime in the most troubled families in the UK, with the government investing some £4,000 per family over three years family having an assigned family worker.[3] Troubled families are defined as those that have problems and cause problems to the community around them, putting high costs on the public sector. The aim is to get 120,000 troubled families in England to turn their lives around by 2015 and in particular, to:

get children back into school
reduce youth crime and anti-social behaviour
put adults on a path back to work
reduce the high costs these families place on the public sector each year

Vulnerable Families

Successful programme to support vulnerable families launches its next phase, backed by £165 million in funding for 2021 to 2022.
Over 400,000 vulnerable families supported to build brighter futures since 2015.
Number of children going into care reduced through the programme, and the number of adults going to prison.
New additional £7.9 million fund launched to improve how councils use data to support families, including by providing key workers with the information that they need.

Since 2015, over 400,000 vulnerable families have received support to help them turn their lives around and build brighter futures, and over 870,000 families have benefited from the programme’s ‘whole family’ approach to tackling problems.
