We are proud to be part of the 4in10 London’s Child Poverty Network shared Action Plan, launched today to coincide with the publication of the annual poverty statistics.
The action plan sets out the steps needed at regional and local level to make real progress. There is no single solution: tackling child poverty requires sustained action across the short, medium, and long term. Above all, it must be shaped by the voices and lived experience of children, young people, and families affected by poverty.
This collective effort has produced a resource that will help push child poverty higher up the agenda in town and city halls across London, as decision makers seek to implement the Government’s Child Poverty Strategy in their local areas.
As a member of the 4in10 Network we endorse and support the Action Plan set out on this website. Together, the network represents a wide range of expertise across policy areas affecting child poverty. Given this breadth, endorsement reflects support for the Plan’s overall aims and approach rather than formal sign-off of each specific call to action.
