Work and Pensions Committee: Realising potential: Delivering the Child Poverty Strategy
Committee hears from witnesses
The Work and Pensions Committee is holding an oral evidence session to scrutinise the government's Child Poverty Strategy and how effectively it is being implemented. The inquiry examines whether the strategy's commitments are translating into real progress in reducing child poverty and improving outcomes for low-income families.
Child poverty affects millions of children in the UK and has long-term consequences for health, education, and employment prospects. This committee scrutiny will assess whether the Labour government's flagship anti-poverty agenda is delivering measurable results and will likely influence future policy direction and spending priorities in this area.
