Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what progress the Government has made on the Healthy Relationships Fund.

Since autumn 2015 we have been working with 12 local authorities to develop evidence-based strategic delivery plans to embed relationship support into local services for families.

In light of the evidence review published by the Early Intervention Foundation, we are considering how best to build such capacity in all local areas, share information and support local strategic planning and delivery of services.

We also aim to launch soon an opportunity to bid for contracts to deliver targeted relationship support from 2017-18 onwards.
