Consistent measures will be used across the projects where possible. However, direct comparison between projects is unlikely as the projects vary considerably both in terms of their innovative and diverse approaches and their target groups.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Steve Webb question first answered 07/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 220 label Biography information for Steve Webb

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 7 April 2014, Official Report, column 103W, on separated people: finance, whether the proposed external independent evaluation of the Help and Support for Separated Families Innovation Fund projects will include as a consistent measure across the different projects the increase in the number of children benefiting from regular child maintenance payments to meet their day-to-day living costs as a result of the interventions being tested.

As the primary aim of these projects is helping parents to resolve conflict and work together, we will not specifically be measuring the number of children benefiting from regular child maintenance payments</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Steve Webb question first answered 28/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 220 label Biography information for Steve Webb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/06/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>Round one projects all aim to reach different numbers of parents depending on their need, the project's location, resources available and the type of service being offered. 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 199646 question first answered 12/06/2014 13:53:18 answering member 220 label Biography information for Steve Webb
