Introduction
The Troubled Families Programme (TFP), administered by the UK Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), seeks to provide targeted assistance to the UK’s most vulnerable families. In particular, TFP targets families facing issues with health, crime, unemployment, truancy, child welfare, and/or domestic violence. The program uses a whole- family approach by assigning one dedicated key worker to comprehensively tackle problems facing all members of the family. This approach aims to provide more streamlined services to the family, and has the potential to break down silos between government departments delivering different social services.
