Making the best of our services for families

“we need to move from a culture preoccupied with compliance to one focused on learning, where professionals have the freedom to use their expertise to assess and provide the help each individual child needs”

DCLG’s Troubled Families Programme• 3 year project • 120,000 families across England, 1,015 in
East Sussex • Focus on workless families with issues
about school attendance, crime / anti-social behaviour
• £4,000 in payment-by-results money for each family engaged in keywork support (estimated £10,000 cost)
Troubled Families Criteria • We would be able to take part in the scheme
when families have the following criteria:– Young people involved in crime and
families involved in anti-social behaviour– Households affected by truancy or
exclusion from school– Locally defined criteria – And also have an adult on out-of work
benefits.
Other things we’re thinking about…
• Essential support for families which is not keywork
• Families who won’t achieve the results the Government wants but need help
• Sustainability and long-term impact for East Sussex
• Welfare reforms and budget reductions which will impact on families
