<p>Responsibility for delivering relationship support services moved to the Department
for Work and Pensions in 2013. Although DWP does not make grants under s22 of the
Family Law Act (1996), we have funded a range of services to support families to improve
the quality of their relationships – including those who are married.</p><p>DWP is
currently delivering the Reducing Parental Conflict programme, which is backed by
up to £39m and aims to encourage local authorities and their partners across England
to integrate services which address parental conflict into local provision for families.
Around a third of this budget is being used to test eight face-to-face interventions,
which evidence shows have the potential to be effective at reducing parental conflict.</p>
