Child poverty strategy - NAVCA's response
NAVCA has responded to the government consultation ‘Tackling child poverty and improving life chances’. This consultation, along with key reports by Graham Allen MP and Frank Field MP will inform the child poverty strategy which is due to be launched in March 2011.
NAVCA have responded to the proposals with recommendations that highlight the role of local support and development organisations and voluntary and community groups in tackling child poverty in local areas.
We support the suggestion that the strategy should take a broad, multi-dimensional view of poverty and highlight why investment in services provided to local voluntary and community groups is a key factor in the provision of services for those who are most vulnerable.
