(b) Contact with agencies, such as
youth offending team, social services,
housing dept, because of anti-social or
offending behaviour and had a 'direct’
or 'indirect’ threat to their home.
(They had to have been evicted - and
so living in temporary∕unstable etc.
housing, or under threat of eviction).

(c) Not all families 'engaged’ with
the project. Accepting a referral was
formally the decision of the family, but
a majority of referrers suggested that
the families’ choice was constrained,
and pressure often appears to have
been put on the families to agree to
the referral (the social workers etc
emphasising that there was a lack of
options, or even none at all, open to
the family).
