	tabling member printed	Lord Northbourne
	uin	HL5362
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2017 answer text <p>The Government recognises the damaging impact of conflict between parents on children’s outcomes. New evidence was published last year highlighting this link, and making clear that the presence or absence of parental conflict has a much greater impact on a child’s outcomes than the structure of the child’s family. Our child maintenance system encourages separated parents to collaborate and make family based arrangements where they can, working together in the interests of their child once they separate. Evidence shows that after separation where parents are able to take a collaborative, low conflict approach it is better for children’s outcomes, including over the involvement of the non-resident parent where this is appropriate, whether this is the child’s mother or father.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 22/02/2017 12:55:19 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley
