Work and Pensions written question – answered at on 12 June 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions
(1) what proportion of the parents who have so far participated in the first round of Help and Support for Separated Families Innovation Fund projects have been (a) parents with main care of a child or children and (b) non-resident parents;
(2) how many people have participated in each of the seven Help and Support for Separated Families Innovation Fund projects to date.
Round one projects all aim to reach different numbers of parents depending on their need, the project’s location, resources available and the type of service being offered. One of these round one projects initially works with non-resident parents only, whereas the other projects engage a lead parent which could be either the parent with care or the non-resident parent. Most projects then aim to work with both parents during the intervention but this is not always possible.
As far as it is possible, the actual number of parents participating, and whether they are a parent with care or a non-resident parent, are data that is currently being collected by our round one projects. This forms part of the data that will be collated, analysed and assessed by our independent evaluator. It is our intention that this will be published alongside final evaluation results when completed.
