This book sets out to explain the current Troubled Families Programme (TFP). It does this well, giving the reader a balanced overview of the TFP in today's society and raises some questions and suggestions posed from current research around the payment-by-results (PBR) requirement. The findings of Family Action demonstrate the PBR assists with an outcomes model using evidence-based practice. However, contributor David Holmes does question the validity of some of the "measures", particularly given that the parameters of the TFP have changed for 2015.
Regardless of the model name or the political support, this type of family intervention has been around since the 19th century, which Keith Davies shares in the opening chapter of his book. We are then provided with further information to show these issues are not exclusive to the UK, but are prevalent internationally where there are issues of extreme poverty and austerity.
