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 27/10/2016 answer text <p>Domestic violence was not included in the target outcomes of the first Troubled Families Programme (2012-15). Given this, we did not have a robust national or local measure to assess prevalence of domestic violence families for the first programme.</p><p>Domestic abuse has now been included as one of the six key headline problems of the new Troubled Families Programme (2015 - 2020). As part of the evaluation of the new programme, we are collecting data from all local authorities on police recorded incidents of domestic violence. This includes the Greater Manchester authority areas. We are also measuring self-reported domestic abuse through a survey of over 1,000 families using the same measure as the Crime Survey for England and Wales. The evaluation will report, in due course, the changes in these measures once sufficient families have progressed beyond intervention to make a robust assessment.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 27/10/2016 15:59:59 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones
