Worst families in Britain will be put in 'sin bins' - Telegraph
The NANNY STATE .. coming to a Country near you soon ... REALLY NEAR YOU!
Under the Government scheme, members of "Shameless" families are given intensive 24-hour supervision to make sure children attend school, go to bed on time and eat proper meals.
Parents are also given help to stop them leading dysfunctional lives and to combat drug or alcohol addiction.
Around 2,000 families have gone through Family Intervention Projects, but ministers intend to increase its scope to 20,000 more in the next two years – each costing between £5,000 and £20,000.
Ministers hope expanding the scheme will reduce the number of youngster who become drawn into lives of crime because of their chaotic family lives.
The projects are operating in around half of all council areas, but Children's Secretary Ed Balls said he wanted every local authority to fund them.
"This is pretty tough and non-negotiable support for families to get to the root of the problem," he said.
"There should be Family Intervention Projects in every local authority area because every area has families that need that support."
Expanding the projects is part of moves aimed at reducing youth crime revealed in the Government's Youth Crime Action Plan.
