Andrew Griffiths – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Communities and Local Government

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Griffiths on 2015-11-13.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many children in families on the troubled families programme were classified as in need in the most recent year for which figures are available.

Greg Clark

My Department does not hold information on specific numbers of children classified as ‘Child in Need’ on the current Troubled Families Programme.

However, for the original Troubled Families Programme, which ran from 2012 – 2015, it was estimated that 23% of families contained one or more children with a Child in Need status.
