(asked on 29th June 2015) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many and what proportion of participants in the Troubled Families programme to date have been single parents.
This question was answered on 6th July 2015
The Understanding Troubled Families report, published in 2014 and based on a sample of 8,447 troubled families, found that 49% were lone parent households, compared to 17% in the wider population.
Further demographic detail of the families in the original Troubled Families Programme (2012-15) will become available from its independent national evaluation later this year.
