Dorset, Lincolnshire and Wolverhampton are the first 3 areas to be chosen today to deliver the Families First for Children programme. They will test new ways to reform every part of the children's social care system, helping children to stay with their families in safe and loving homes, whilst protecting vulnerable children where needed. The programme aims to ensure early help and intervention is available for families with challenges such as addiction, domestic abuse or poor mental health, to help them overcome adversity and stay together where possible, and to identify when to intervene to protect a vulnerable child when needed.
