	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2016 answer text <p>‘Turning around’ a family was a phrase used in the first Troubled Families Programme (2012 – 2015) and meant that real change was achieved to improve the lives of families in the programme:</p><ul><li>children back in school for three consecutive terms; AND significant reduction in youth crime by a third and anti-social behaviour by 60%</li></ul><ul><li>OR an adult previously on benefits must be back in work for at least three consecutive months.</li></ul><p>The new Troubled Families Programme (2015 – 2020) reaches out to families with younger children and a broader range of problems – including families affected by domestic abuse or with children in need. The new Programme has different criteria for claiming a results payment. Local authorities can claim results payments for families when they can demonstrate that significant and sustained progress has been made against every problem a family is facing, or that continuous employment has been achieved.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 27/10/2016 15:43:41 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2016 answer text <p>The National Institute of Economic and Social Research Impact Study was just one of 6 reports comprising the independent evaluation of the first Troubled Families Programme. The evaluation found that the programme had many positive achievements. These include:</p><ul><li>Families feeling more confident and optimistic about being able to cope in the future</li><li>Joining up local services for families by encouraging a single keyworker approach to work with the whole family on all of its problems</li><li>Raising the quality and capacity of local data systems</li><li>Better joint working with partners such as Jobcentre Plus</li></ul><p>The data shows that nearly 120,000 of the families on this programme saw their lives improve – more children attending school, youth crime and anti-social behaviour significantly cut and, in more than 18,000 families, an adult holding down a job. The evaluation does not dispute this fact.</p><p>Unsurprisingly, the ambitious and innovative impact study which used national administrative datasets to track changes in families circumstances over comparatively short time periods, was unable to specifically attribute positive outcomes achieved in employment, youth crime or school attendance to the Troubled Families Programme.</p><p>This was because at that time the level of change achieved was not significantly different from that seen in a group of families not on the programme with whom comparisons were made. This is not the same, however, as saying that the evaluation shows family outcomes did not improve, as some have wrongly inferred.</p><p>Of course, we will continue to review all evidence of how the programme is working, to learn from it and see if there's more we can do to help families facing such multiple problems. In fact, we have already adapted the new programme in a number of ways, including extending the length of time over which family outcomes will be tracked – from 12 months to 5 years.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones grouped question UIN 49557 question first answered 25/10/2016 16:25:39 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones previous answer version 16223 answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones
