The government is to launch a pilot scheme designed to help transform the lives of the most troubled families in up to 10 local authority areas, the Prime Minister David Cameron has announced.
The government's flagship Troubled Families programme is successfully reducing the number of children deemed to be in need support from local authorities, according to emerging evidence.
Families involved in the government's Troubled Families initiative have an average of nine social problems when they enter the programme, latest research shows.
Involving youth offending services with the government's troubled families agenda could help reduce numbers of young people getting in trouble with the law, MPs have been told.
