§ Hilary BennThe White paper "Respect and Responsibility—Taking a Stand Against Anti-social Behaviour" encourages the development of an increased range of specialised, intensive support schemes to help parents and children. These schemes aim to support families where a lack of parental capacity or ability contributes significantly to the child's behavioural problems.
352WThe Children Act is a shared responsibility across Government, which involves departments working in partnership to ensure delivery for families and children. Our aim is to increase the range of ways in which the family support provisions of the Children Act can be realised.
