Briefing – Programme for Govt debate on eradicating child poverty

With the eradication of child poverty the single most important policy objective of the current Scottish Government, its feature as the central ambition of the 2024/25 Programme for Government is to be welcomed.

Stretching poverty targets require bold action, and the time for action is now. The Government’s ambitious commitment must be matched with a range of bold, immediate actions that work together and are transformative in scale.

This briefing created for MSPs before a debate in Parliament on Thu 5 Sep, outlines the actions that the Poverty Alliance believes are vital if we are to deliver a Scotland free from the preventable injustice of child poverty.
