The statistics analyse the results of the 3,675 families that have left intervention projects since January 2006. The data is based on figures recorded by staff in a system developed by the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen).
On average, there was a 47 per cent reduction in the proportion of families with chaotic home lives that included poor parenting, relationship breakdowns, domestic violence or child protection concerns.
The projects resulted in a 34 per cent reduction in the number of families with health risks, including mental or physical health and substance abuse problems. Families experiencing problems with education also saw some positive outcomes with a 53 per cent reduction in the number of families with problems with truancy or bad behaviour at school and a 14 per cent reduction in the number of familes with no adult in education, employment or training.
