Abstract: This protocol summarises plans for a pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT) and process and implementation evaluation of a pilot to embed systemic practice in keyworker teams as part of the Department for Education's Supporting Families Programme. The aims of the pilot trial are to: (1) Provide indicative evidence of the impact and efficacy that the model delivers on family outcomes compared to models that have not embedded systemic practice in their keyworker teams; and (2) Establish the feasibility of delivering a full trial of the model in a larger number of local authorities. Findings will inform the development of the Families First Partnership programme delivery and wider children's social care policy, including the Government's reform of children's social care.
