Policy & Practice: Briefing - Family support before crisis hitshome

Is this an explanation of where we've been going wrong? This is a Cabinet Office publication with a ministerial foreword, so the gist of it all is: "We've done so much to help young people and families over the past 10 years, but of course there's still more to do."

Understood. So what's the diagnosis? The majority of families have never had it so good. But an estimated two per cent experience multiple problems which, of course, put children and young people's progress at risk. The analysis is presented here in what, at times, seems rather superfluous detail. Apparently, young people who have grown up in poverty "are more likely to have low levels of savings" and parents who engage in antisocial behaviour are more likely to raise children who also behave antisocially. Unless I missed it, the report doesn't tell us what bears get up to in the woods.
