HC Deb 10 April 2000 vol 348 c73W
Mr. Livsey

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the(a) document titles and (b) page references of Family Court Welfare Officer training material on Children Act contact and residence disputes which provide guidance on (i) how much time should be apportioned between parents after divorce and separation and (ii) how long it should take for this level of contact to be attained.

Mr. Boateng

There is no guidance which specifies the level or nature of contact to be recommended in a specific set of circumstances.

Mr. Livsey

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what records have been kept by the Family Court Welfare Service for each of the last three years showing the levels of contact recommended between non-resident parents and their children in disputed access cases. [117803]

Mr. Boateng

No such records are kept and there is no requirement for probation services to do so.
