Jump To Comment: 1"The mistake you have made is to take anything written by the Daily Express at face value. Perhaps it is a while since you were in the UK, but you should be aware that they print total and utter bollocks most of the time.
Firstly this story is at least a year old (and the trial scheme started in 1995), and secondly the most restrictive regime (with the monitors etc) is for a very small handful of families (not 2000) who cause extensive and very real misery to the lives of people around them and who have been escalated through the system. These are the real families from hell, “known” to social services, the police, the courts, just about everyone.
There are a small number (about 5 or 6) semi-secure units in the country (called “core residential units”) which house these extremely difficult families and are used as part of behaviour management programme. The most extremely disruptive families are moved to these units.
Most families that are part of these family intervention projects are dealt with by a combination of key workers and use of sanctions. They do not have CCTV installed in their homes
The alternative to these family intervention projects is jail - so this is a better regime than that.
