  2. Making the best of our services for families Eileen Munro Foreword for ‘Leading for learning: how the intelligent leader builds capacity’ Nottingham.

DCLG’s Troubled Families Programme • 3 year project • 120,000 families across England, 1,015 in East Sussex • Focus on workless families with issues about school attendance, crime / anti-social behaviour • £4,000 in payment-by-results money for each family engaged in keywork support (estimated £10,000 cost)

  6. Troubled Families Criteria • We would be able to take part in the scheme when families have the following criteria: • Young people involved in crime and families involved in anti-social behaviour • Households affected by truancy or exclusion from school • Locally defined criteria • And also have an adult on out-of work benefits.

  7. Other things we’re thinking about… • Essential support for families which is not keywork • Families who won’t achieve the results the Government wants but need help • Sustainability and long-term impact for East Sussex • Welfare reforms and budget reductions which will impact on families
