A successful Child Poverty strategy is one where many families across the country have been able to take part in either discussion forums or community outreaches.
They are voices that help shape a better future for our children, therefore the opinions of parents at all different stages of their children’s lives need to be heard.
Cutting funds from school holiday clubs - which the government is doing now - is not going to help reassure parents that their children are put first on any poverty fighting plan, as has happened in my local council.
