It provides greater security to firms against costs which could otherwise result in financial difficulty; and to employees that resources will be available for compensation even where firms have become insolvent.</p><p> </p><p>There is nothing to suggest that requiring an employer to have compulsory insurance prevents deaf and other disabled people from entering employment.</p><p> </p><p>As the Minister for Disabled People, Health and Work, I am the champion for disabled people, and work with colleagues across Government to help ensure that disabled people can enjoy full equality of experience and participation across society.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 27/06/2017 13:21:15 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2017 answer text <p>In April 2017 we published the Improving Lives: Helping Workless Families paper which outlined the actions we plan to take in supporting the most vulnerable families.</p><p>This included the launch of an innovative new programme to address parental conflict as this is a critical influence on the quality of parenting. 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
