<p>The published independent evaluation of the first programme presents data from
local monitoring that shows that 10% of families had at least one child permanently
excluded on entry to the first Troubled Families Programme (2012-15) and 28% had at
least one child with a temporary exclusion. Where data were available for families
at exit, 65% of families saw a reduction in permanent exclusion and 70% of families
saw a reduction in temporary exclusions.</p><p>Due to time-lags in national datasets,
the first programme’s independent evaluation was not able to track school exclusion
outcomes in national datasets within its timeframe.</p><p>The evaluation of the new
Troubled Families Programme (2015-20) will measure changes in school exclusions (both
temporary and permanent) using national data held by the Department for Education
at both a national and local authority level.</p>
