Families: Disadvantaged
(asked on 19th March 2019) - View Source
Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many children have been supported through the Troubled Families programme in each year since that programme has been in operation; and what the ages of those children so supported were.
Answered by
Rishi Sunak
Prime Minister, First Lord of the Treasury, Minister for the Civil Service, and Minister for the Union
Since the start of expanded Troubled Families Programme, over 529,000 children between 0-17 years have been supported by the Troubled Families programme.
We do not report this per year as families are not limited to how long they can spend on the programme and as a result, children may be on the programme in more than one year.
