Terms of reference
(Announced 9 February 2006)
The redesign would be led by Sir David Henshaw and he would deliver his findings to the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions before summer recess. He would consider the longer term policy and delivery arrangements for child support, including:
- How best to ensure that parents take financial responsibility for their children when they live apart;
- The best arrangements for delivering this outcome cost effectively;
- The options for moving to new structures and policies recognising the need to protect the level of service offered to the current 1.5 million parents with care.
