Families Programme for 2023/2024 and 2024/2025
To agree that North Yorkshire Council signs up
to the Supporting Families Programme for 2024/2025.
The government programme Supporting families,
previously known as Troubled families, programme was launched in
2014 and NYCC has successfully fulfilled the requirements of the
programme since 2015. Each year, the local authority is required to
sign up to the programme and accept the grant.
The funding as in previous years is consists of two funding
streams; funding for the delivery of intensive family support and
developing the maturity of your Early Help system, paid at the
beginning of the year as one full payment; and the other for
achieving successful family outcomes with a minimum number of
families, paid following each quarter’s submission of
successful outcomes.
As part of the budget proposals for 2024/25 which were approved by
Full Council in February 2024, £750k of the Supporting
Families funding will contribute towards budget savings.
Decision exempt from call in due to DfE deadline for
acceptance.
