When launched in March 2012, The Troubled Families programme was the flagship social policy initiative of the last Government, and part of the administration's broader ambition to shift public expenditure away from reactive service provision towards targeted early interventions. Targeting 120,000 households with complex and multiple disadvantages, and underpinned by a £448m investment, the programme aimed to turn around family lives involving truancy, unemployment, anti-social behaviour or crime, and reduce cost of problems caused and experienced by these families, estimated at £9bn per annum.
