## Notice

The Supporting Families Spend Evaluation has three research aims: 1. To assess the feasibility of consistently and accurately measuring early help spend, including spend funded by Supporting Families programme, between LAs; 2. To understand how LAs are spending early help funding, including the Supporting Families uplift, and whether this differs between LAs; and 3. To explore estimated and perceived early impacts of the Supporting Families uplift on outputs and outcomes, and whether this differs between LAs. We anticipate the following approach to addressing the three research aims: - Feasibility assessment (research aim 1) - Process evaluation (research aim 2) - Outcome and impact evaluation (research aim 3)
