Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what sources of information are available to the Child Maintenance Service to help them ascertain whether a child or adult, who is the subject of a case, and who is registered in full time education is actually attending and participating in the course in a meaningful way.

There is no requirement in law for the Child maintenance Service to gather data on children attending full time education or training.
