answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2020 answer text <p>The Troubled Families Programme (England only) is working to achieve significant and sustained progress with families struggling with multiple complex needs such as worklessness and debt, health problems, including drug and alcohol addiction, and involvement in crime and anti-social behaviour. The additional funding of up to £165 million that has been made available to extend the programme for an extra year means that it is now backed by up to £1.085 billion of government investment. This will mean more people in need get access to the programme's early, practical and coordinated support to transform their lives for the better. We want to build on the success of the programme in the coming year, delivering on the manifesto commitment to ensure the programme reaches all those who could benefit – from the early years and throughout their lives. We are currently considering options and next steps.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 11/02/2020 15:54:20 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text <p>The national evaluation of the Troubled Families Programme 2015-2020 publishes findings on a regular basis as new evidence becomes available. This means that the latest evidence can be used to inform the programme design on an ongoing basis. The publications referred to in the question are all part of a single evaluation project and therefore it is difficult to estimate the costs for each publication. The total spend on external evaluation contracts is £3,985,942, roughly 0.4% of the programme’s total budget. This includes data matching, case study research, longitudinal staff surveys, a longitudinal family survey and a cost benefit analysis for the programme. This does not include internal staff time which is difficult to estimate.</p><p>The evaluation has been pioneering in its use of data, matching data from four government departments with local data to provide a deep understanding of the lives of families with multiple complex needs. This is the first time this has been done and as far as we are aware, is the biggest data linking exercise in government.</p><p>The robust evaluation has been vital in demonstrating the impact of the programme and making the case for its continuation.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 08/10/2019 14:41:27 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

uin	244097
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
