<p>This phase of the Reducing Parental Conflict (RPC) programme (2022-25) focuses
on supporting and funding Local Authorities (LAs) to integrate RPC into their family
help offer. As such, the programme does not directly put parents through RPC interventions,
these decisions are instead taken at a local level.</p><p>LAs receive RPC funding
through the RPC Local Grant, which makes up to £19m available from 2022-25. In the
first year of grant funding, LAs have directly supported around 18,000 parents, and
over 30,000 training places for staff. Further details on LA breakdowns of grant funding
have been appended to the end of this PQ.</p><p>In the first year of the RPC Local
Grant, LAs had spent £159,000 of their Local Grant funding to undertake evaluation
activities. As we are at the start of the second year of a three-year grant process,
this work is ongoing. There are however positive findings emerging from local evaluation
work. For instance, through our partnered working with ‘Foundations’, these have been
published on their website.</p><p>LAs are not required to provide data on whether
those parents are together or separating/separated. The forthcoming Reducing Parental
Conflict evaluation reports, announced on 19th July, will provide further detail on
the effects of support on the relationships between intact parents and separating/separated
parents.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="2"><p>RPC Local
