Overview
Partnering with Action for Children over three years to provide high-quality Multi-dimensional Treatment Foster Care (MTFC) to young people in Manchester – supporting them into stable, long-term family placements.
The young people referred to this service had previously been assessed as being unable to sustain a family placement because of challenging emotional and behavioural difficulties, and had therefore been placed into a children’s home.
MTFC Innovation provided an intensive solution, delivering enormous benefit for both the individual, and wider society, over the course of their life.
Outcomes
This programme placed children with very high levels of need into stable, long-term families – enabling the delivery of almost 14,000 days of foster care and saving the Council an estimated £4.5m.
