<p>The Troubled Families Programme is designed to support families with complex problems,
including promoting family stability and reducing parental conflict. Funding for the
programme is not ring-fenced and we do not collect information about spending on specific
services such as marriage support. This funding flexibility allows upper tier local
authorities and their partners to decide how best to deliver the programme in their
own area, according to local need and priorities. Up to £920 million has been made
available for the programme from 2015-2020. In addition, my department has worked
closely with DWP to make sure delivery of the programme is coordinated with the Reducing
Parental Conflict Programme, for which up to £39 million has been made available.</p>
