The Expanded Troubled Families Programme In Spending Round 2013, the Government announced: 5 year extension of the Troubled Families Programme from 2015 £200m in 2015/16 (1 st of 5 years’ intended investment) Additional 400,000 families to benefit As part of the Budget 2014, the Government announced: Will bring forward by one year the next stage of the Programme, which means up to 40,000 families will be able to get support one year earlier than planned. First group of ‘early starters’ to begin in July 2014 – working with them over the coming months to design the detail. The problems targeted by the current programme – youth crime, anti-social behaviour, poor school attendance and unemployment - remain relevant. The expanded programme will look to focus on families with a broader range of problems. These include families who are: o affected by family violence o with vulnerable children, and o with a range of mental and physical health problems.

5. Help families with children to overcome multiple problems, particularly intergenerational problems To tackle family violence in particular its transmission from one generation to the next To improve the physical and mental health of families To ensure that vulnerable children are intervened with more decisively and decisions about their future are taken quickly To tackle problems in primary school, particularly where these problems stem from the family. To make work a reasonable expectation of families with multiple problems. For Families To (continue to) transform the way that public services work with families with multiple problems so that problems are solved not managed To reduce the numbers of services that work with families who have lots problems To make a whole family approach integral to the way that public services both look at and work with families (not just family intervention services) To ensure that family intervention or family key-workers are a recognised and valued workforce which operate to a set of principles/training. To make universal services more attuned to the needs of troubled families To make sure data sharing across services is not a barrier to identifying and working with families For Services To demonstrate that this way of working results in lower costs and savings to different public services, particularly reactive public services.
