Eliminating Child Poverty?

Sue will examine what this Government is trying to do with the Welfare Working Group, background the current situation with child poverty, and look at some of the ways forward.

David asks the question “Why didn’t we fix child poverty when we had the chance?” He will explore options that not merely lift poor families above the administratively-designated ‘poverty line’ but materially improve their quality of life in an ongoing way and break the cycle of disadvantage.

Both speakers will outline what they consider to be the way forward and the best ways for us to act.
