Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, when tenders for the new £30 million inter-parental conflict programme announced in April 2017 will be published.

The Government is committed to delivering the new programme of support for workless families, as announced in Improving Lives: Workless Families. We acknowledge that there have been some delays to our plans for the new programme, including the election hiatus. We will be coming forward with an opportunity to tender for organisations to deliver face-to-face interventions to reduce parental conflict next year, but at this point we are not able to confirm the exact timescales for this process.
