Alongside @jrf-uk.bsky.social & key partners, we're concerned the latest Scottish Government child poverty plan doesn't go far enough. We’ve must see bolder action if we’re to meet the legal child poverty targets www.jrf.org.uk/child-povert...

The Child Poverty (Scotland) Act – time to go further?

Scottish Parliament set a high bar with the Child Poverty (Scotland) Act — but the Act's final delivery plan in March, by its own admission, doesn't go far enough.

Alongside other anti-poverty charities in Scotland we're extremely concerned by the latest tackling child poverty delivery plan from the Scottish Government. 👇 @jrf-uk.bsky.social @opfs.org.uk @trussellscot.bsky.social @savechildrensco.bsky.social @cpagscotland.bsky.social @povertyalliance.org
