David Cameron is pledging to do more to help problem families in England who're blighted by domestic violence and drug abuse, as he admitted that parents and children have sometimes been left worse off by the coalition's reforms.
According to the Prime Minister, a scheme's already helped 53,000 households, and it's now being expanded to reach an additional 400,000. All government policies will also have to pass a "family friendly" test under plans being set out by the Prime Minister, which includes counselling or guidance for couples who have just had a baby.
Faith-based charity Marriage Care has backed the proposals, speaking on Premier's News Hour, chief executive, Mark Molden said: "what this is about is saying, look; at a key moment where public services are in front of both expectant mother and expectant father let's give them some support at that crucial juncture to think about their relationship, think about how they might weather the inevitable storms that a new baby brings into a relation ship .
Online music videos are also going to be given age ratings to help protect children from graphic content, as part of further measures announced on Tuesday.
Announcing the new system which will be introduced in October, David Cameron said: "we're going to help parents protect their children from some of the graphic content in online music videos by working with the British Board of Film Classification, Vevo and YouTube to plilot the age rating of these videos"
Labour has criticised the plans saying families have been "let down" by a government that stands up for the "privileged few".
