Relationship separation and child support study

by Nick Wikeley, Eleanor Ireland, Caroline Bryson and Ruth Smith

This report is a policy-focused research report commissioned to inform the changes to the Child Support Agency (CSA). A face-to-face survey was conducted by the National Centre for Social Research with CSA non-resident parents (NRPs) and persons with care (PWCs) and non-CSA PWCs and NRPs. The report focuses on the number and form of child maintenance arrangements in place, demographic information about the child maintenance population, past and future use of information and support, views on the changes to the child support system and likely behaviour as a result of these.
