Newcastle's Family Intervention Project sends caseworkers into homes that social services, police, schools, and housing officers have already given up on. The film follows the FIP staff on their rounds, working around the clock with parents and children on the edge of eviction or having their kids taken into care, part of a pledge David Cameron made to turn around 120,000 troubled families across Britain by 2015. Cameras sit in on the actual sessions: workers negotiating with exhausted parents, checking on school attendance, mediating the small daily crises that build into housing tribunals and child protection hearings. The families are not softened for the camera, and neither is the pressure the FIP staff work under, managing caseloads where failure means a family loses its home or its children. There is no narrator smoothing over the outcomes; some families stabilize, others do not, and the film sits with both. It is a close look at what a national policy target actually requires on the ground, one household at a time.
