Fascinating report on the Today programme this morning about how the Government aims to target 120,000 dysfunctional and "troubled" families.
As soon as you start to define a demographic you can analyse it, and with analysis will come solutions.
Personally I would like to know what sort of houses (or flats) these families live in - type of property; sense of security; access to gardens / green areas; access to "a room of my own"; eating arrangements; proximity to extended family etc.
Also (and this may seem a frivolous aspect) the style of architecture of the property they live in. I am interested in whether it is possible to improve someone's self-image simply by changing the architectural style of the place where they live. Do children from communal concrete residences have a poorer self-image than children who live in individual houses with gardens.
