Reinstatement of Parental Conflict Indicator statistics

The next release of Parental Conflict Indicator statistics, covering from 2011 to 2022, was originally due to be published in March 2024. This publication was suspended to allow further investigation of unexpected results.

Following a review of the methodology and additional quality assurance, the statistics for 2011 to 2022 will now be released on 12 March 2025.
