Priorities for policy
1. Relationship support should become a core responsibility of local government.
2. There should be greater measurement of the stability and quality of couple, family and social relationships at a local authority level.
3. Government should bring forward a new cross-government couple, family and social relationships strategy.
4. There should be an investment in relationship support at key life transitions.
