Children exposed to frequent, intense and poorly resolved conflict between parents are at greater risk of poor social, emotional and cognitive outcomes. The new programme will support the use of evidence-based interventions to reduce parental conflict, delivered by specialist organisations at a local level. This will transform lives by supporting parents, whether they are together or separated.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 26/06/2017 14:14:50 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

In practice, this means that they either remain at the April 2015 rate or are set at the 30<sup>th</sup> percentile of local rents if this is lower.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2017 answer text <p>We are aware of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation’s September 2016 report ‘UK Poverty, Causes, Costs and Solution’ which aimed to set out a long-term strategy for a UK free of poverty.</p><p> </p><p>The merits of the recommendation in this report to measure and monitor destitution directly through repeated surveys have been considered with the JRF. It is acknowledged that individuals and families living in non-private households, communal establishments and the homeless are not well captured on surveys currently used to measure household income and poverty. The ONS is currently commissioning, jointly with JRF, a research project to investigate the feasibility of including individuals and families not living in private households (who are currently not covered by traditional household surveys) in estimates of personal well-being, poverty and destitution. We will be interested in the results of this report when it is published (due in early 2018).</p><p> </p><p>One of the key benefits of repeating a survey is to build a meaningful time series from the data, with the changes seen over time helping government to understand how policies impact on individuals and families. However, given the difficulty in generating a robust sampling frame for this group, we may not be sure that apparent movements in the destitution measure over time are genuine, rather than driven by random changes in the sample we happen to include between years.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 04/07/2017 11:51:29 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
