answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2016 answer text <p>In section V. paragraph B92 of the UN concluding observations, the UN Committee has invited the UK to submit its combined sixth and seventh periodic reports (including a response to the observations from this year’s examination) by 14 January 2022; it would therefore not be appropriate for me to pre-empt this report by anticipating what we might say in 2022. In any event, the Government regularly assesses the impacts of its policies and will continue to do so.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 12/09/2016 16:22:09 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether there is provision to ensure that both parents in a separated couple receive financial assistance for their children when joint custody has been approved.
tabling member constituency	Torbay
tabling member printed	Kevin Foster
uin	44174
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2016 answer text <p>Where a separated couple have joint custody for their children, only one of them will receive financial assistance for those children through Universal Credit. The separated couple may jointly nominate which of them that will be. The parent who receives financial support is the one whom the child normally lives with, but if the child normally lives with both, then it is the parent who has main responsibility for the child. This is to be decided by the parents, or failing that, the Secretary of State if the parents cannot agree or if the Secretary of State does not think that the nomination accurately reflects the arrangement. HM Revenue &amp; Customs administer Child Tax Credit and Child Benefit and the rules similarly require that payment is directed towards the person who is mainly responsible for the child, so that at any one time, only one person can be entitled to receive payments in respect of a particular child.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 12/09/2016 12:33:55 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

We are testing a range of approaches.</p><p>This includes ongoing trials on how in-work progression can be supported by work coaches. This will help us further develop the work coach role to support in-work claimants, including working parents and Carers.</p><p>We have also put in place a substantial programme of learning and ongoing support for work coaches. All coaches receive face-to-face classroom learning which focuses on both the technical delivery steps and importantly the transformational change of delivering in-work progression, as well as consolidation post-completion.</p><p>Many of the skills that work coaches develop and utilise when working with out-of-work claimants are equally applicable to in-work claimants, and they will bring these skills to bear in addition to the extra learning.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 12/09/2016 12:29:56 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
