‘I feel rage’: I talk to the head of Save the Children about child poverty in Scotland. She tells me 1-in-3 families with babies live in poverty, that political failure by both govts brought us here and why the public wants action not more hard heartedness heraldscotland.com/news/25136661.…
'Children living in poverty simply cannot wait' Kerry Hudson responds to The Herald's report that there are now more children in poverty than during the mid-90s 👇 heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp… @ThatKerryHudson
Powerful piece by @_RebeccaMcCurdy as part of @heraldscotland series on child poverty. Couldn’t agree more that “This should be an issue that is resigned to the history books where future generations find it hard to believe it existed in the first place.”

Our Head of Scotland @CTelfc met with @NeilMackay for his big read in today’s @heraldscotland about ending child poverty, the role of public attitudes, the need for a baby guarantee and harnessing the power of children & families heraldscotland.com/news/25136661.…

E D I N B U R G H Good to check in (2/3 April) with @SaveChildrenSCO team on @scotgov target to get child poverty below 10% - some progress but not enough to meet the target by 2030 - and to talk to our parents advisory panel on how to push for greater ambition
New statistics show that child poverty rates in Scotland have fallen. Our actions, including delivering the Scottish Child Payment and expanding free school meals, will benefit the poorest families by an estimated £2,600 in 2025-26. gov.scot/news/child-pov…
"People want a compassionate country beyond the injustice of child poverty... it’s not too late. There are concrete, practical things that @scotgov can do now to meet our legal child poverty targets in 2031." Read more from our CEO @PK_PovAlliance. povertyalliance.org/news-campaigne…
Today’s child poverty stats for Scotland show that investing in social security makes a real difference but needs to be scaled up if we’re to eradicate child poverty and meet the 2030 targets.
We acknowledge the slight reduction in child poverty however, figures remain significantly above the interim target. @scotgov must do more to prioritise ending child poverty to meet targets. Too many children in Scotland are still growing up in poverty. 👇 aberlour.org.uk/news-item/aber…
Save the Children UK on the Labour Government: "If ministers do not take decisive action soon, this will be the first Labour Government ever to preside over a significant rise in child poverty."
Scotland misses targets on reducing child poverty bbc.com/news/articles/…
PRESS RELEASE Scottish policies “are working to shift the dial on child poverty” say campaigners as official statistics show child poverty falling. bit.ly/41L0qjX
