Tenancy issues

Hi all
Not sure if this is correct place but looking for advice.
I currently live in a council property with my partner and 3 children. I am the tenancy holder and partner is listed as living here. I offered to add them to the tenancy years ago but they did not feel it needed.
Anyway .... long story short I’m not certain on the future of the relationship. My issue is if it does break down it makes more practical sense for me to be the one to move out but as partner is not a tenancy holder that means if I move out we all lose the property.
If I were to add them to tenancy now .... if the real relationship end would I just be able to remove myself and they continue to remain in the home? Is there a time period that someone has to be added on for?
Please don’t suggest that they move out, for several reasons it makes more sense that I make the move should it come to it. It would be hard enough so if I can put some security in place now I think it would be for the best.
Many thanks

Unfortunately the only people who can really answer your questions are theCouncil. Approach them and see what their policies are with regards
Do adding/removing parties from a tenancy.
It’s not something that you can just do, you would need their consent.0
