I have brought forward an explicit reference to family support in section 8, which is the key section outlining the functions of the new agency. I have done that, as I discussed here a number of times, to bring greater visibility, to give clarity and assurance and to allow for consolidation of the opportunities to do family support work. I am approaching that by way of putting it into the general functions of the agency. Family support is outlined as a key part of the new agency in section 8.
