• Safeguarding children supporting families grants: national project grants - Section 64 of the Health Services and Public Health Act 1968 gives the Secretary of State for Education and Skills the power to make grants to voluntary organisations in England whose activities support DfES' policy priorities for children's social care. The aim of the Safeguarding Children and Supporting Families Grants scheme (SCSF) is to strengthen and further develop the partnership between the DfES and the voluntary and community sector. Funding supports innovative projects of national significance that complement statutory services, and help secure and promote high-quality children's social care in England.
• Strengthening families grants - The aim of the Strengthening Families grant programme is to support and develop activities which enable families to get access to information, help and advice. The programme has been formed by the merger of the Marriage and Relationship Support (MARS) and Family Support (FSG) grant programmes, following the creation of the DfES Children, Young People and Families Directorate. Development Grants are available to fund work on marriage and relationship support and parenting for up to three years. One year Infrastructure Grants are also available to fund work on marriage and relationship support only.
