One of these round one projects initially works with non-resident parents only, whereas the other projects engage a lead parent which could be either the parent with care or the non-resident parent. Most projects then aim to work with both parents during the intervention but this isn't always possible.</p><p> </p><p>As far as it is possible, the actual number of parents participating, and whether they are a parent with care or a non-resident parent, is data that is currently being collected by our round one projects. This forms part of the data that will be collated, analysed and assessed by our independent evaluator. It is our intention that this will be published alongside final evaluation results when completed.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Steve Webb grouped question UIN 199627 question first answered 12/06/2014 13:53:18 answering member 220 label Biography information for Steve Webb
