I commend my right hon. Friend on his commitment and the additional investment by the Government, which is starting to bear fruit, although there is still much to say. I welcome in particular his recognition that solving homelessness is not just about sustainable income; it is about dealing with the...

When will it be published, and when will the lessons be learned? What lessons have been taken away from the “Positive for Youth” report, published...

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of the Family Drug and Alcohol Court pilots to date.
The Government's Children's Social Care Innovation Programme has enabled approaches like the Family Drug and Alcohol Court (FDAC) to be tried and tested in order to develop and spread new and more effective ways of supporting vulnerable children.
We recognise the positive results the FDAC achieves as evidenced in the latest research report published by Lancaster University[1]. This research published in September – and funded by the Department for Education Innovation Unit - found that mothers reunited with their children after care proceedings in the FDAC are more likely to stay off drugs and alcohol for longer and their family life less likely to be disrupted when compared with cases heard in ordinary care proceedings. A linked study, also published in September, indicated that the FDAC model is being successfully implemented in different courts around the country, and the local Judges were unanimous in their support for the FDAC approach. The department has not carried out any cost benefit analysis, but earlier this year, evidence from the Centre for Justice Innovation revealed that FDAC saves the taxpayer £2.30 for every £1 spent.
I met with Judge Nick Crighton and members of the FDAC National Unit on 19 October to discuss the latest research reports and progress on implementing the FDAC project.
No decision has been taken on future Government funding for the FDAC project.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what her Department's financial commitment is to the Family, Drug and Alcohol Court project; and if she will make a statement.
The Department for Education has been a strong supporter of the Family Drug and Alcohol Court model since 2008, and has worked closely with the team to grow the model and secure its sustainability. With regard to further financial commitment, I refer the Hon Member to the reply given to him on 14 July in PQ 204870.

The Family Drug and Alcohol Court (FDAC) received cross-government funding from the Department for Education, the Department of Health and the Ministry of Justice over four years (2008-10) to support its early pilot development. The Department for Education's contribution to this contract was £450,000.
The Department also gave additional funding (2010-12) of £150,000 each year to develop both a financial sustainability model for the future and a blueprint for the roll-out of other FDAC pilots in other areas.
The Department is currently funding The Tavistock and Portman £150,000 in 2013-14 and 2014-15 to continue the development and roll-out of the FDAC model. This money will be to enable FDAC to be developed further to be consistent with the revised Public Law Outline (PLO) 26-week time limit which came into force through the Children and Families Act 2014.
No decisions have been taken about future funding beyond 2015.

(2) what assessment his Department has made of new models of intervention developed as part of Addaction's Breaking the Cycle project for working families with substance misuse problems.
[114648]
Mr Jim Cunningham:
[holding answer 3 July 2012]: Addaction's report and project will help improve the knowledge about interventions that work for families affected by substance misuse. The DCLG who lead on the Government's Troubled Families Programme will consider the report's recommendations and findings, particularly around the benefits of their family based interventions. Officials from the DCLG Troubled Families Unit recently visited the Brent project to meet staff and service users in the Breaking the Cycle project.
