answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2019 answer text <p>Looking at families where programme start and end data is available, we find that on average, families spend approximately 8 months (259 days) on the programme. However, it is worth noting that, because the Troubled Families Programme is designed to provide support which is tailored to each families’ individual needs, the length of time and type of support provided will vary considerably from family to family.</p><p>Some families do leave the programme prematurely; they might disengage or move to another local authority for example. Comprehensive data is not held centrally, but these numbers are tracked locally.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 23/04/2019 10:20:03 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2018 answer text <p>We track the characteristics of families on the Troubled Families Programme through our National Impact Study, which uses national administrative datasets. In our latest dataset 43.9 per cent of the 79,616 families for whom we have linked data had at least one child categorised as a Child in Need.</p><p>This means that children in families on the programme were eleven times more likely to be classified as a Child in Need than those in the general population. The latest Children in Need data we have access to is for families who joined the programme before the end of March 2016, and so our results are subject to time lags.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 05/03/2018 16:46:02 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
