The programme is designed for pregnant women and their families who are considered ultra high-risk for child abuse and family dysfunction. The evaluation provides an examination of twelve month outcomes (changes in family functioning and child welfare) of 55 Family Help Trust Families. The methodology encompassed a prospective longitudinal design (Time 1 and Time 2 for data collection) and a comprehensive interview questionnaire comprising structured, semi-structured and open-ended questions. Case managers collected data from families involved with Family Help Trust (primarily mothers of babies) with an interval of twelve months between the two collection periods. The report also provides a brief overview of home visiting, a discussion of the limitations of the methodology, and an examination of the referral process. The overview and analysis of the results are discussed in the context of previous studies. It was concluded that in the twelve month period ultra high-risk families can make significant improvements concerning child abuse prevention. The programme is seen as extremely encouraging.
