14/02/2013 - Troubled Families Programme

The Committee considered the report of the Director of Young People and Families in relation to the Troubled Families Programme.

 

The Overview and Scrutiny Committee (Children’s Services) had considered the report at its meeting held on 20 November 2012 (Minute No. 22 refers) and had referred the report to all of the Council’s Area Commitees for information.

 

The report set out the background to the programme; how troubled families were defined; and recent progress made within Sefton with its partners.

 

The report also outlined the nationally determined criteria being used, namely:-

 

  • Crime and/or Antisocial Behaviour;
  • Education and truancy or exclusion from school;
  • Unemployment; and
  • the Local Discretion which had been agreed as domestic violence and alcohol misuse.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the report and early programme progress be noted.
