Tackling Child Poverty Delivery Plan is step towards realising Scotland's commitment

Commenting on the launch of the Scottish Government's Tackling Child Poverty Delivery Plan, Mary Glasgow, chief executive, Children First said:

“The Tackling Child Poverty Delivery Plan is a step towards realising Scotland’s commitment to ensure that no child’s health, wellbeing or life chances are undermined because their family faces financial hardship.

“Families tell us that the easy access to whole family support which we offer through our national support line and local services can make all the difference to their lives. So, the commitments in the plan to offer more support like this are welcome.

“While today’s plan is important, it is the immediate actions of the next Scottish Government which will make or break Scotland’s chance of meeting our national poverty reduction targets and securing a better future for children and young people for generations to come."
