Government's Troubled Families Programme to Be Expanded

The government’s troubled families programme is set to be expanded to focus on 500,000 households. David Cameron is expected today (18 August) to announce a series of polices designed to put family life at the heart of government policy. He is expected to announce that the troubled families programme will now seek to help 500,000, as opposed to 120,000 households as originally intended.
