Report ED18031

The Council was now in year three of five in the second phase of the Tackling Troubled Families programme, and the report provided a summary of expenditure on the Programme being delivered in Bromley, requesting agreement to drawdown grant funding from central contingency. The programme was funded by the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) on a payment by results basis and there was a rigorous process of checks by Internal Audit, the DCLG and Ofsted. 75% of families only presented to the programme once, with a further 19% having no more than two presentations.

The report had been scrutinised by the Executive and Resources PDS Committee on 31^st October 2017.

RESOLVED that the drawdown from contingency of a sum of £796k for Tackling Troubled Families for 2017/18 be approved.
