Reinstate legal commitment to eradicate child poverty by 2020, as per CPA 2010.
The Government has announced they will repeal the Child Poverty Act (2010) which outlined a legal commitment to reducing child poverty by 2020. This was in the context of a report which said levels of child poverty were unacceptably high and expected to rise. 1 in 3 UK children live in poverty.
