Research has identified a number of ‘risk factors’ for children that may lead anti-social or problem behaviour in later life. This has lead to an increased interest, by policy makers and practitioners, in developing targeted preventive work with children and families that may reduce risks and increase protection. In 1998 the Joseph Rowntree Foundation developed a new community-based programme that aimed to reduce risks for children and families. Communities That Care (CTC), a programme originally developed in the United States, aims to create neighbourhoods where children and young people would be less at risk of school failure, school-age pregnancy, youth offending, and drug misuse. This study evaluates the impact of the first stages of this process. It details how three CTC projects were set up in the UK, and what lessons have been learnt from their early experience. It looks particularly at the set-up period when areas analysed the problems they faced and set about devising action plans aimed at addressing these problems.
