The government’s new Child Poverty Strategy sets out the steps it is taking to reduce child poverty in the short term, as well as putting in place the building blocks needed to change the course the UK is currently on and create long-term change.
The strategy brings together the action the government has already taken, alongside new measures, to increase incomes, reduce essential costs and strengthen local services. It also outlines how the government will hold itself to account on delivering the impact it has promised through this Parliament and beyond through a robust approach to monitoring and evaluation.
The Child Poverty Strategy is UK wide and will deliver for children across all four nations.
