Separated People

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether an external evaluator has been appointed to provide an independent assessment of the 17 Innovation Fund projects set up under the Help for Separated Families initiative to establish what works in assisting separated parents to co-operate in the interests of their children; when it is planned that that evaluation process will take place; and when it is planned that that evaluation report will be published.

Answer

One of two evaluation partners has been appointed and we are in the process of appointing the second.

Evaluation data continues to be collected by all of the live projects and this data will be analysed and interpreted by our independent evaluator throughout the duration of their contract into 2016.

Results will be published after all projects have ended delivery and the external evaluator has completed their follow up work and analysis.
