Child Support

Child Support Policy: An International Perspective is the title of a research report released last week by the Department of Work and Pensions. The report compares provision for child maintenance across 14 countries.

Child maintenance in the UK has been administered by the Child Support Agency (CSA) since 1993, although it is now due to be wound up by late 2008. For information on the Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission, the new body that is due to take on it's responsibilities, take a look at A New System of Child Maintenance, a white paper published by the government last December.
