A Methodist Charity's hailing its work with troubled families, saying it's cutting truancy and crime. Action for Children has found giving one-to-one "Intensive Family Support" cuts offending rates by 70%, and improves school attendance in two-thirds of children. It says hands-on support helps families address a range of issues by getting practical and emotional backing. Policy Manager Emma Scowcroft tells Premier it's all about treating families on a case-by-case basis.
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
