Labour's Child Poverty Strategy: A Moral Mission
Update: 2025-12-05
Description
Labours new child poverty strategy aims to lift over 550,000 children out of poverty by 2030. The plan includes an £8 million investment in a pilot scheme for homeless families, new legal duties for councils to inform support services, collaboration with the NHS to prevent new mothers from being discharged to unsuitable housing, and changes to make it easier for working parents to access childcare help. These proposals build upon earlier poverty-related policies, such as the abolition of the two-child limit for certain benefits, and include initiatives like expanded free school meals, breakfast clubs, and family hubs.
