<p>This Government is committed to action that tackles the root causes of poverty
and disadvantage, not just the symptoms. As part of our approach, we fully recognise
that the right intervention, at the right time, can make a real difference to the
lives of children and their families. This is why, for example, we are developing
a new approach to relationship support. This is based on the latest evidence from
the Early Intervention Foundation that children exposed to frequent, intense and poorly
resolved conflict between their parents are at risk of poorer long term outcomes.
Our approach targets couples and parents during key life transitions; and by doubling
the available funding since April 2016 for the remainder of this Parliament we can
ensure that more families benefit from this new approach.</p>
