<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>
