A Family Test was introduced by the Government in 2014 \u2013 it aims to bring a family perspective into policy making. It will ensure that impacts on family relationships and functioning, both positive and negative, are recognised in the process of policy development and help inform the policy decisions, and any subsequent legislation, made by Ministers.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Test is not a \u2018tick box\u2019 or \u2018pass v fail\u2019 exercise, it is about thinking carefully how new policy can support or potentially undermine family relationships. Policy is always about trade-offs but the Family Test ensures family considerations are explicitly considered and recognised when making those trade-offs.<\/p>
