This annual report marks the tenth anniversary of Supporting Families, (originally launched as the Troubled Families programme in 2012), which has evolved to become a crucial element of the early help system across England. The Supporting Families programme has already supported over 650,000 vulnerable families, and with it’s overall funding now reaching £695m, their goal is to work with 300,000 families between 2022-2025. The keys to the success of the programme are whole family working within a context of more integrated, accessible services. By focusing on targeted early help, the need for more costly and complicated statutory interventions is reduced. This report highlights the importance of joining up services, and already Family Hubs are places through which many families are able to access the Supporting Families programme.
