Work will focus on building resilience and reducing risk. • YOS • Persistent high risk Anti-social Behaviour

  12. The future Role of Children’s Centres • Taking into account budget reductions – can children’s centres work in clusters to develop savings proposals of 10% and 20% that would minimise impact on service delivery? • Identify the opportunities and risks with regard the introduction of charging for some services?

  13. Troubled Families

  14. Troubled Families Programme - Overview ‘Troubled families’ are households who: • Are involved in crime and anti‐social behaviour (ASB) • Have children not in school and • Have an adult on out of work benefits Further detail underpinning Three “filters” indicated in Guidance Thus by implication they cause high cost to public purse

  15. Troubled Families Programme Salient points: • We are “required” to “turn around” 1200 families over 3 years • We will need to work with more families - not all will be “turned around” • Payment by Results; “Results” defined by programme

  16. Troubled Families Programme Progress so far 157 meet 3/3, 667 - 2/3 criteria, across a spectrum of need Database developed Co-ordinator role ratified Wider information sharing agreement drafted Stakeholder meetings in place Commissioned service review undertaken Full project plan in place.
