Upper tier local authorities provide my Department with progress information in regard to their local troubled families programmes at quarterly intervals. The latest information submitted by the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham shows that, as at 30 September 2013, it had started working with 412 families. My Department publishes programme data on a quarterly basis, including the number of families worked with by each upper tier authority. The information can be found on my Department's web pages here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/troubled-families-progress-information-at-september-2013-and-families-turned-around-at-october-2013
