What should be the priorities of the Child Poverty Strategy?I think the things that I would like to see changed the minimum wage, it's certainly not a living wage and I don't even know what to suggest. It needs to be raised to but you cannot live on 11 pounds 40 for an hour. I'm actually paid 12 pounds an hour and even then it just goes nowhere. So I think we need a whole review.
Over that amount and people need to be paid a living wage. And it needs to be raised in line with the cost of living.
I also think the
Father of my child, only contributes, 7 pounds a week to his upkeep. Now he I have no idea but he has probably on benefits, but then I'm living on benefits as well. So, why is it down to me? Who is the sole carer of the child to meet his needs financially and everything else? And I just don't think it's fair morally, right? The he can get away with only contributing seven pounds a week.
I think that needs to be looked into, so those are two areas which I would like to see addressed.
Thank you for everything that you do to support us all.
