Child Maintenance and its impact on child poverty and financial security for single parent families
Created: 23/09/2024
News/Events Category: Children and Families
Transforming Child Maintenance is a two-year partnership project between Fife Gingerbread, Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) Scotland, and One Parent Families Scotland, funded by The Robertson Trust. The project will work with parents, practitioners, and policymakers to make the case for a fairer system for children and families.
Its aims are to drive systemic change in the UK child maintenance system, explore options for devolving more powers to the Scottish Government, and to develop and test new approaches to child maintenance by working with families to enable an increase in the successful receipt of child maintenance for children.
The report draws on a mix of quantitative and qualitative research, including focus groups with 'paying' and 'receiving' parents, public polling, expert consultations, and statistical analysis. It reveals the current child maintenance system, intended to improve satisfaction amongst separated parents, has instead led to widespread dissatisfaction.
