In this episode we’ll be discussing the recent pilot evaluation of No Wrong Door, part of the Strengthening Families Protecting Children (SFPC) programme and commissioned by the  Department for Education.

SFPC aims to support local authorities to introduce one of three models of practice into their own area. These models hope to enable more children to stay in safe and stable family environments, so that fewer children need to be taken into care.

No Wrong Door was developed by North Yorkshire County Council. The initiative takes a multidisciplinary approach, with a team from several different sectors providing support to young people in or on the edge of care, through a range of services, outreach and accommodation options. The model was originally designed to support young people aged 12 - 25.

Our pilot evaluation was of No Wrong Door in Middlesbrough, who launched their Futures for Families, to support children aged 11 - 18 using the No Wrong Door model.
