The Government is committed to supporting families, including by tackling the scourge of domestic abuse and reducing the high harm of crime to our society.

The Home Office has a Family Test lead responsible for how the Family Test is applied. They are part of the Family Test Network, a cross-government forum to improve coordination and implementation.

This includes feeding into improvements to the existing guidance for officials in all departments on the Family Test.
