No it isn't.

Ted is quite correct that it's not happening nor will it.

UK Govt To Install Cameras In Private Homes

UPDATE: Further research shows that the Express didn’t quite have all its facts straight. This scheme is active, and the numbers are fairly accurate (if estimated), but the mentions of actual cameras in people’s homes are exaggerated. The truth is that the scheme can take the most troublesome families out of their homes and move them, temporarily, to a neutral, government-run compound. Here they will be under 24-hour supervision. CCTV cameras are not specifically mentioned, not are they denied, but 24-hour “supervision” certainly doesn’t rule this out from the camera-loving Brits.

CCTV in a government run compound is a far cry from CCTV in private homes. Complaining about this is somewhat akin to complaining about CCTV being installed in prisons.

Constant supervision via government agency was the issue.

"Families in this type of provision receive 24-hour
support and supervision from staff in accommodation
provided by the project. Families are likely to be
involved in many structured sessions complemented
by daily unstructured observation. If the family complies
with interventions and behavior improves sufficiently
then they will be able to move into one of the above."

I could give a crap tbh.. What is there to prove? That the Brits sure do like being on cctv? Der. If they're cool with it as a way of their government rescuing them from themselves then so be it.
